I’m not going to go into all of it because I know I’ll still get people judging me and telling I should’ve done better, which yeah, I should have but I can’t go back and change that, I can only accept it and move forward. But basically, I became severely depressed at age 12 and got kicked out of school because of it. My grades were amazing but I didn’t go as often as I should have because I was too depressed to.

I’m now 20 and I’m doing better but I want an education. I want a good life. I want my father to be proud of me. But I feel like it’s too late now? I feel like I fucked up so much that I can’t fix my life. And I know that’s the depression and anxiety talking but I can’t help but feel a bit hopeless.

Anyone else gone through something similar? Any advice?
