dear parents: a letter
I haven't come clean to you for the past few years. Now, that is biting me in the ass. Since I've got to university my mental health has taken a toll. I am more anxious and depressed than I ever was. Why do I say that? Your little girl had a lot of panic attacks, cried herself to sleep and thought about ending her life again. I am writing this letter because I am now going to get the help that I deserve. I started going to counseling for about 2 months now. Now I'm going to a physician because I had to have an emergency counseling session due to the fact of the night prior. I wasn't at the lowest I could be and I had a severe panic attack. I'm going to see a physician in a couple of hours. I'm going to get medication by using our insurance and if you are involved, I will tell you that I'm not fine and haven't been for a while now. I just hope that you won't look at me differently or ridicule me, saying that everything that I went through is in the past or that I should just grow up. I just hope that you accept me and are proud of me for getting help.
