Welcome to Gaia! ::

About 2 years ago I began getting depressed. School, Boys, friends, family, everything seemed like it came against me. I began cutting thinking it was the only way out. I cut my arm at first, people began asking questions and I stopped cutting my arms, I started cutting my legs, stomach, and chest. I cut anywhere people couldn't see. My psychologist prescribed me so many different medicines. One for depression, one for ADHD, one for ADD, one for anxiety, and one to sleep. It only made me worse. I had so many thoughts of killing myself, I wished for death so badly. I then met Christian. We started dating and he began taking me to church. He stood behind me through so much. I finally stopped cutting myself, It was hard and I slipped up a few times but for the most part I was done with that. I dedicated my life to Jesus Christ and started going to church every Wednesday and every Sunday. Finally, when I believed I had enough faith, I asked God to take my depression away completely, he did and I stopped my medicine. Cold turkey with no side affects. God took my depression and gave me my life back. I believe he brought Christian to me to help me get closer to him. Now, I'm on the praise and worship team at my church and I sing every Sunday. I'm really happy with me life. I believe that God has given that back to me.

I hope my testimony gave someone peace or hope with any situation.
I thank God everyday.
