* TRIGGER WARNING
Hi everybody. My name is Jessi. You see that picture right up there? Yeah. I’m the girl on the right and my sister is the beautiful girl on the left. The reason that I chose a picture with her is because she pretty much saved my life and I wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for her. Well anyways, I was battling severe depression at the time this picture was taken. I didn’t feel pretty enough, or skinny enough, or smart enough, or funny enough, .. I just felt worthless and scared and alone. On top of that, my life has just always been a roller coaster. I have been through more in my seventeen years than most people go through in a lifetime. So I became addicted to cutting and pills to cope. It has been a year and four months since I was released from the psych ward, where I was treated for depression. And I can honestly say that it does get better. No matter how lonely you feel, there are people who care about you. No matter how ugly you feel, there are people who find you beautiful. No matter how bad things get, it will get better. I’m glad that I finally realized that. I’m not going to sit here and say that I’m completely happy now and that everything is perfect and that I absolutely love myself, because that’s not true.. But I’m on my way. <3
