I have struggled with severe depression for two years now after a suicide attempt in high school senior year. I’m 19 now but haven’t finished high school.. in fact, I’m doing independent modules to finish and I have had my homework sitting on my desk since summer. My teacher is patient and has waited all this time for me to come in. I still haven’t touched my work but today I decided to contact my teacher and thank him for his patience, and let him know I would like to finish my courses soon to complete this chapter of my life. I know it’s not a big deal that I contacted him, but to me it really is because I’ve been hiding away from everything in my life for a long time now. After this, I hope to become a kindergarten teacher. Right now I’m not in the best situation of my life, but I think I will make it out okay.
