WARNING:::::::: About Depression and things, but there is a silver lining
Jump, skip, step, fall. There are a million ways to do it; I just needed to pick one. But I couldnt, its not that simple, I couldn't pick. I couldn't. Why? I don't know. You'd think it would be straight forward, wouldn't you? Pick a way that suits your mood? Well I'm depressed, and I didn't know if I wanted to live. Now you're asking, how can you not know if you want to live or not, isn't it obvious? No. Its not. I wanted to live, but not like the way I was then.
Maybe I should formally introduce myself. Hi, I'm Imogen (people call me Immy), I'm 17 and I'm in my 1st year of college, and I can't remember the last time I was genuinely happy. I have friends, sort of, they're not the kind of people I'd trust my life with, but they' there... sometimes. My family isn't all that bad either. Mum and dad are still together and I have an older sister. It's not a fully functional family, but then again, whose is? My point is, I don't know why I feel like this, I don't really have a good reason.
My school referred my to a 'specialist'. I don't know whats special about them though. The 'specialists' gave up and sent me to a residential centre for "people like me". Basically a social experiment to see if they put all the kids with social anxiety in a room together, they'd be fixed. Needless to say, it didn't work, we're all still confused as to how staying at Ploegman is going to help. (Ploegman is the name of the centre, they call it a centre, its more like a prison. We aren't allowed to go out of the building and we cant listen to music or watch youtube. I don't think i'll last here long, but still, its two weeks off school so who cares?
