I beat depression. You can too!!!!!

Hi, my names Amy, i'm 22 years old. I'm sharing this with you all because I just want you to know that there IS hope out there. It may not seem like it right now, but there is. 

I was depressed for 5 years and attempted suicide twice. I won't go too in depth about why I was depressed but lets just say there were countless amount of reasons.

So.....Counselling did not help, anti depressants did not help and I pushed myself so far away from any support and love given to me, I felt isolated, alone and worthless. I struggled with my sexuality, with my identity and had crazy anxieties and fears. Nothing seemed to help... I closed myself off from the world and turned to drugs and alcohol because that was the only thing that helped ease my heart and my mind. 

This is until my life dramatically changed 6 months ago... Now i'm on a mission to help you overcome it!! (Because, yea, it can be beat!!!!) Please check out the songs I have wrote and sung on youtube:

Amy Nichols - Turn Around

Amy Nichols - Open Her Eyes

I hope these will help you, because I'm singing from personal experience! 

If you want to know HOW I went from being depressed to being happy so that it can happen to you, please subscribe to my youtube channel (Amy Nichols) I'll be posting a video very soon!!! (....currently in the making) 

Sharing my love and hope with you. Xxxo Amy

Not being funny but you are only 22.  There is nothing you can tell us older folk about suffering from and beating depression.  I don't think you are allowed to advertise your site on here. .

well done Amy.  Nothings impossible.  I wish more had stories like yours.

Hi I am glad that you have turned your life around but my depression is actually chronic nightmares for the last 12yrs mine I PTSD which they are still trying to find the switch.

Good luck to you. Alexander

Depression is depression, regardless of what age you are.

My prayers are with you.

You'll have a story like this one day Richard.

God bless

Amy

My prayers are with you Alexander xx
