I only want one thing in this life of mine. To be 100% happy. I’m close, I know it. But I’m not there yet, and I’m afraid I’ll just fall back down, and this time, I won’t be able to get back up. I’m only a teenager, so people say it’s a phase. It’s not a phase. Teenagers can be sad too. They can hate life and have depression too. I haven’t been diagnosed, and my parents don’t even know what I go through every single day, and I hope they never have to know how sad their daughter is, because it would kill them. I’ve been so close to just killing myself. I can’t ever bring myself to do anything. The most I’ve done is cut. I just don’t want to be this way anymore.

No matter what people tell you, it is NOT a phase. I’m a teenager and I have been diagnosed with depression, I cut, and I have tried to kill myself. I have been this way for over two years, and that is longer than a ‘phase’.
And I understand where you’re coming from, I never told my parents. I didn’t want to see them so disappointed in me.
There’s nothing wrong with you, and it’s not your fault you turned out this way. If you’re upset, then you’re upset, don’t feel guilty about it.

Nobody on the planet is 100% happy. It’s impossible. If you keep striving to be 100% happy, you will fail. You don’t need complete and utter happiness to live, you just need to be ok. It may or may not be a phase – you won’t know until much later. You need to seek help, because wallowing in your own sadness will not get you anywhere. Don’t strive for the impossible – strive for stability.
