-Katy lived in a old home in Oklahoma where she lived with her parents and older sister. She was a teenager who suffered from anxiety, depression, and every once in a while suicidal thoughts. She had never really thought of actually trying anything tho. She would go to school like a regular person and had a lot of friends. She didn't start to really suffer until a year later. She had ended up cutting herself and then trying to drown herself
She ended up being a banker acted she was sent and didn't have a problem with it. She made friends who had the same problem she did. She was in there for 2 and a half weeks. When she got out her parents were scared and controlling they were worried and didnt understand why she did what she did.
-im Katy and I'm in middle school it's good I have a lot of friends and good grades. But I'm always shaky and feel like my heart's beating out of my chest. I always think of how dying would be a relief and I always feel sad. Today I was coming home from a friend's and played in bed crying. I had seen a sharpener and broke the plastic around it. I used it to cut my arm it felt good until about an hour later. I realized what I did and regretted it. I knew we had plans to go to the pool so I tried to cheer myself up.
We where at the pool and I felt like if I just die I wouldn't have to deal with anything I would be happy. I was gonna do anything it was just a thought. I regretted that thought tho and just went swimming. I started to have a panic attack and suddenly decided to try and drown myself. My parents seen me and took me to the hospital to get me banker acted.
When I got banker acted I was in there for about 2 and a half weeks. I had a therapist who I told everything so I could get out. And I had so many people I relate to it was amazing. I told my therapist how I regret everything I did. She explained to me how some people's brains work like that they don't really mean to do what they did but they did it.
I got out and my parents were scared and didn't understand why I cut my arm or tried to drown myself I never told them why either. I just hid in my room.
