I got hit with depression and anxiety… mostly anxiety… One of my friends had gotten to the point where friends just weren’t enough to save him anymore and I’ve saved his life 3 times in the last week. Last Thursday, he wanted to leave, Friday i saved him, Saturday I saved him, Monday I saved him (he tried to overdose) and Tuesday, I finally got him help and he’s doing better. I’ve known him for almost 5 months now. August 23, 2013 <3 is the day my life changed for good. He’s fun and amazing and I know a lot of people might disagree just because he’s suicidal and broken but I don’t care. I think he’s worth it. He’s worth saving. and he wasn’t this broken when I met him. We’ve had so much fun together but this last month, he totally lost it. He got bandaged up and he’s been to a session of counseling and he’s been eating more. For the past 2 weeks, he’s been eating like the bare minimum… I honestly love him and I know this is bad but I’ve revolved my world around him. I don’t know who I am anymore and I just love being with him. People told me to give up. They said I couldn’t save everyone, but I wasn’t going to give up on him. I’ve never cared about someone so much, so fast before. He truly is amazing and I’m glad to have him here. Getting him help was the last thing I wanted. I didn’t think it would have to come to that but I just want to say that If you know someone that needs help, please do not hesitate to get them professional help. I almost lost him, but I didn’t and now he’s okay. Please, I know you might not want to report it. I know I didn’t because I was afraid that his mother would hurt him. She supported his depression and threatened to hurt him to give him a reason to be upset. She didn’t accept him and she was just one reason why he wanted to leave… she surprisingly didn’t lay a hand on him, thank god. but anyways. He’s doing so much better and he’s almost back to his old self. The way he was when I met him, all cute and happy ^.^ I just really care about him more than anything and If you know someone that’s hurting or that wants to leave, then help them and report it if it gets to that point… If you see that someone is cutting, report that too. He had a lot, but it was covered all the time. No one really knew… I knew… . He’s my best friend and I knew. I wish I would have reported it earlier but I finally did and now there is hope. Now, he’s doing better. (: So stay strong and take my advice. Don’t keep quiet. Be someone’s butterfly. Be there for them. They might not admit it but you being there means the world to them because everyone needs someone. Everyone is dealing with something and everyone just wants to be loved. So if you need help, tell someone and if you know someone that needs help, please be there to help them. There is always hope and recovery is possible. If you read this, thank you. (:
