Depression has been my life since I was 13. I consumed my soul. It took my self confidence and planted a dead of doubt in its place. The people outside of my immediate family have no clue what goes on in my house. I have two loving caring parents. Two siblings whom I love more and more each day. So where does this feeling come from. My name is Laila Rose Lafoy. This is the story of how I overcame my demons and showed them that this is one life they were not ending early.
