this book is a collection of my thoughts over the past 3 years, it is my journey through my mental illnesses. i decided to put this story up for people to see is because i want people to see the reality behind mental illnesses such as depression. i also wanted people to be able to read this and not feel so alone in the world.
as this is a diary of sorts the entries were made when i was at my lowest, meaning that there may be grammatical errors as well as some spelling mistakes. i will not be editing this book as i feel that it adds a sort of rawness to it, keeping it as is. that being said if there are any spelling mistakes that are very annoying and get in the way of the flow of the entries, just leave a comment and i'll fix it.
i would also like to leave a trigger warning before the start of this book. i know that reading my own entries reminds me of the pain and puts me in a bad place so if you feel that this is making you feel bad or bringing back bad memories, please don't read it. also if anyone is going through a tough time in their life or if they just need someone to talk to or a person to vent to, i am here for you guys, just send me a message.
last but not least, these are my thoughts and my struggles please do not invalidate my experiences by trying to claim it as your own or passing it off as a story. in other words please do not copy my work.
this story is being posted on October the 10th since that is the world mental health day.
