I thought I had depression this past year, but over the summer my friend informed me that I didn’t have it. She seemed to know everything about depression just because a member of her family had it (I know all about that), and said I would have tried to kill myself. I really don’t wan’t depression, but I also have chronic migraines and its just too much. It really isn’t something you can push away.

I discovered I was depressed just about a month ago. I reached out to my closest friends and my boyfriend. Having someone constantly checking up on me, even though it’s hard for them, is a life-saver. Literally. I still struggle every single day, but those are days that I choose to continue living.

I realise that this is an American website, but could Gurl put any UK telephone helpline numbers on here too, as this website is accessible from the UK.

I’ve had depression for years now. This article is just like the others I’ve read, it’s not helpful at all. I was suicidal, and calling a hotline to TALK about my “condition” made me want to pull the plug faster.
