~TRIGGER WARNING; SELF HARM AND SUICIDE~
Dear Diary.
Today I was so busy getting things ready for college that I didn't have a chance to research anything, but I did find out that when mum was younger she had suffered with Depression.
She told me that hers was so severe that she had to drop out of university in the middle of her last year, and then she showed me her scars on her thighs. They hadn't faded; these awful big thick scars where she had physically slashed her skin apart. She told me that she'd needed stitches a few times because she had cut so deep, and she even confided in me that she had attempted suicide three times. She said that she'd even thought about attempting again after dad's suicide, but couldn't because of us kids. That made me feel a lot better.
I feel like me and my mum are a lot closer now after this. I hope nothing ruins it. I feel sorry for her, because she's stuck in a bad job because her mental health ruined her degree. That must suck.
I'm feeling a lot better today and I think that's because I was so busy getting everything ready for college. I spent my morning looking through all my old science books to remember the stuff I'd learnt, and then I got my bag ready. Tomorrow I'm meeting up with Amy, I think, so hopefully that will be a good day.
Anyway I'm sorry it's such a short entry today but I'm exhausted...
Bye bye

A/N - I think I'm going to have to post a trigger warning for every chapter! Please let me know what you think:-)
PS: sorry it's so short, don't kill me >.<
