Surviving Through Mental Illness
I want to start this off by saying I am only 16 years old. Just a young kid in high school working their butt off to get homework done so they can get a high GPA and graduate on time. Something that isn’t that unusual for teens to stress about, but for me it gets even more intense than just the usual anxiety of getting work done and caring what other people think about me. It gets so difficult for me to leave my bed in the morning and not because I hate school or am too tired from lack of sleep, but because I have a mental illness. Multiple mental illnesses actually that make my life a living hell and people don’t even know the half of the stress my own mind puts me under because there’s no visual evidence that I’m suffering.
