As someone who has been through a tough period of severe depression and still struggling with anxiety there is hope.
It's so difficult for someone, especially younger people to come out first time and be honest about how they feel, getting the help for it and being open enough to come out with your problems are the toughest parts of finding some balance back in your life.
I think for a lot of people who haven't struggled with it feel like they can't understand what all the fuss is about.
That is a big problem, even in this day and age, mental illnesses cripple the mind so badly that you want to just give up.
For myself, being pro-active, going to the gym and getting a job after leaving school made me feel like I was worth something again, it almost felt like an overnight process, maybe I was just lucky.
But for those on here who cannot imagine a normal day, do talk, try and get out if you're stuck in the house all day.
If you're still at school, talk to your teacher, head or whoever has some authority that might help you, not all boys and girls at that age are very understanding, trust me, I would know.
But don't ever give up, you will beat it eventually, even if it's not tomorrow.
