My depression started when I was in 5th grade. But it really started to impact my life in the start of 8th grade. I’ve been bullied my whole life about how I look and people told me to hang myself because of how “ugly I am” and that nobody would want to be my friend. And people used to push me on the ground and this one boy punched me In the face and actually Broke my nose. I tried to stand up for myself but I couldn’t and everyone in the school was watching and nobody helped me. So In 9th grade I got diagnosed with ptsd which had a major effect on my life including how I slept, how I reacted to things and how I had flashbacks every single day.

    Hey Lauren! Thank you for sharing about how/when your depression started, it takes a lot of courage to share your story so bravo! Also I am not sure what those cruel people were talking about “ugly” because all I see is a stunning Queen! in this picture and last time I checked I’m not blind… Soooo

    But anyways! I hope you are doing better Lauren! And if you ever need someone to talk to, hmu! 😀
