Hello everyone! My name is Sarah and I am
20 years old.
I am here to help out too. I have many
friends and some family who are dealing
with depression, and I have also dealt
with it first hand. My cousin was so
depressed he unfortunately committed
suicide two years ago, and him and I
shared quite a few experiences.
I was depressed for a number of years and
understand what it is like to feel really
down and like there is no escape.
Fortunately, I am one of the lucky ones
who after 7 or 8 years I was able to pull
out on the other side. However, I
definitely understand what a lot of you
may be going through and would love to
help out if anyone ever needs it. I can
respond to PM's pretty fast, so feel free
to PM me any time! I look forward to
getting to know and talk to you.
Sarah
