My Life Diary

Introduction

My name is Paige. I'm 13 years old. Most think I'm just a regular happy girl. I smile. I laugh. Happy right? Nope. I've struggled with depression, anxiety and a mood disorder since 4th grade. I started cutting when I was in 5th grade. Only 10 years old. It all started because of a stupid teacher. He embarrassed me in front of the whole class for something I didn't even do. I started getting bullied, rumors were made, I became more and more depressed as each day passed. I was suicidal. I started to cut that next week. It actually felt good. It felt like I was letting out my anger. Except on myself. I didn't realize that this action would become a 'habit' I guess you could say. I recently started to cut deeper. I ended up in the hospital on a 72 hour hold. Ever since that day. I have gotten worse. And worse. And worse. Cutting deeper and deeper. This is my story.
