Depression

 Hey! My name's Tiyler and I'm clinically depressed.

 I don't think most people really understand what it's like, or how scary it is to be told you're mentally ill. Guys, it fricken sucks. Before you can help someone who is depressed, you have to understand what we go through every day.

 1. We loose the ability to function
 we can't just get out of bed and do our school work and laugh and smile and say everything is just fine and dandy. We just can't.

 2. We feel unloved
 "No one cares about me" "No one want's me around" are a couple of things that went through my head every minute of every day. Who can live like that?

 3. We feel hopeless
 "I'll never get better" "I'll always be useless" We don't believe we're going to get better, and we don't think we can. In my head, It was over. I was going to be like this the rest of my life. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel now, and I don't hear a train (as I have so many times before).

 These are just a few things I faced everyday. I was just so tired and I wanted it to be over. I'm not all better yet. as a matter of fact just a month ago I was in serious danger of being hospitalized. But I'm on my way!

 What you can do to help people like me:

 Love, love, love.
 Before you can do anything, prove that you can love someone so broken. Smile at them everytime you see them. Not a pity grin, a real smile just to say you're happy and there's something left to be happy about. Hugs are awesome and a great way to show love. If you're romanticaly involved with the person you want to help, cuddles and kisses are the bomb.

 Just show you care and you love them. 

 You're awesome,
