I had to walk through the dark to get to the light

For just over a year, I felt quite depressed and on top of that I was hearing voices telling me to take my life and harm myself. When I was stressed or anxious, the voices got louder. I remember the day I "gave in" as I just wanted to numb the pain. Thankfully, I didn't take much of anything that might have warranted me going to hospital. I was in therapy at the time and I told them what I did and felt like it was "silly" but they assured me that it wasn't. As the months went on, I managed to learn how to manage the voices and my way of thinking about myself and my life. I still get the odd bad, but I hope my story is motivation for those going through something similar, that thing can and do get better. :)

    Thank you! :3 It's good to hear other people's stories of how they've managed through difficult times.
