This is an excerpt that I wrote describing how I overcame mental illness at sixteen. I have suffered through severe depression since the age of twelve. This story recounts how it took over my life and the struggles I faced daily. This is semi contemporary so some things may sound vague. And also disclaimer but my grammar sucks (mostly bc I am bilingual) If you share my story please tag me on Instagram @trig33r I hope that by telling my story I can give hope to those battling mental illness. Even though I don't know you just know that I love you and please contact me if you need someone to talk to. Because talking to someone can save your life. Stay safe <3 - Emma Grâce
