I graduated high school today!🎉💕

Today was a day I never thought I would live to see.

Today I graduated high school!💕🎉

It has been a long road to get here. When I was 13 is when my illness hit and my life was shattered. I got diagnosed with depression, bipolar, anxiety, and social anxiety. The years 13-16 were the hardest years of my life. I was in and out of mental hospitals. I ended up going to a mental hospital four times. I was in an abusive relationship, I was depressed, and suicidal. My life was a wreck. I was planning my death and I promised myself that I would kill myself before I turned 15. But, I didn’t.

I am standing here today telling you that I am 19 and I graduated high school. Living with mental illness: is hell. But somehow, you just have to keep going. You have to keep going.

I am living proof that IT DOES GET BETTER! Because I am alive here today and that is something to be proud of.

I just want to encourage you that if you feel like giving up: please don’t. I know it’s tough and you just want to give up, please don’t. Keep going. It does get better. I believe in you.

I graduated high school today and I am so happy. Today was a good day💜🎉💕

Thank you guys for helping me and today I start new chapter of my life. I know it’s going to be tough, but I am ready. I choose to live!🌟

I love you!❤️
