Here is an excerpt from My Crazy Brain:
> "I was first diagnosed with depression when I was 16 years old. I had been struggling with symptoms of depression for years, but I didn't know what was wrong with me. I felt sad and hopeless all the time. I had no energy or motivation. I couldn't concentrate on anything. I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to sleep all the time.
> "I finally went to see a doctor when I was 16 because I was starting to have suicidal thoughts. The doctor diagnosed me with depression and prescribed me medication. The medication helped me to feel better, but I still struggled with depression for many years.
> "I went to therapy and tried different medications, but nothing seemed to help. I felt like I was going crazy. I didn't know what was wrong with me or why I couldn't get better.
> "Finally, when I was 25 years old, I found a therapist who helped me to understand my depression. She taught me that depression is a real illness and that it's not my fault. She also taught me how to manage my depression.
> "I've been living with depression for many years, but I'm finally in a good place. I'm taking medication that helps me to feel better, and I'm going to therapy regularly. I've also learned how to manage my depression on my own.
> "I know that I'll always have depression, but I'm no longer afraid of it. I know that I can manage my depression and live a full and happy life."
If you are struggling with mental illness, please know that you are not alone. There is help available. Please seek help from a mental health professional.
