Depression and anxiety
16 year old girl
I have suffered from anxiety and depression for a while now. My social anxiety disorder became severe when I was 9 years old. I pretty much stopped talking to people, avoided going to lunches or birthday parties and every time I have a speech for school I get so worked up I drive myself into being extremely ill.
I first went through depression at the age of 13, then again at 14 and then again at 15-16. The most recent relapse though I began to rely heavily on self harm. I began to use Kids Helpline and they really helped me clear my mind. It was really helpful to just have someone there to talk to.
