Description Please read this.

I was afraid to speak up at first, it's hard to ask for help when you're dealing with something like depression. I felt like I was giving hints or whispering. Saying enough to say I was trying but not enough to be heard.

Then I did ask, but I didn't help myself. I expected magic to happen I guess and thought that having support was enough. Even if I didn't always tell the truth. I told a few people and got a therapist at school.

Now, I'm screaming because I'm trying with everything I have right now and no one seems to want to help me anymore. I don't want people to become comfortable with me like this. It's not okay to be comfortable where I am now. I want someone to hear me. Finally.

I'm entering this in the "Looking Ahead.." contest for because I look ahead to overcoming my depression and getting the help I need to keep moving forward with my life.

"I felt like I was giving hints or whispering."
I hate it when Depressed people are passive-aggressive.

This is very moving, and I have personally felt this way before. You expect the people around you to notice, and when they don't it only pushes you down further. I may not know you, and you do not know me, but if you ever need a pair of eyes to type to, I'd be honored to help.

I wish you luck in this contest too!
