Hello World...

 



Hello to anyone who is out there somewhere in the world reading this. I hope you are reading this... I am the sad girl in hiding as you already know and I want to share my story with you. I am a teenage girl suffering from pretty severe depression. I want to share my story, thoughts, experiences, feelings, and tips to help those out there who are suffering like I am and need help.

 

 I know what it is like to feel so alone and empty inside even if you're in a room full of people. I totally get that, and that's why I am doing this- so you won't feel alone. So you'll feel like you have at least one person out there who knows exactly how you feel and you can reach out to. Whoever reads this, I would love to talk to you and get to know you as a reader. We can share stories, and help each other through this mental illness.

I would love to find someone else out there who is suffering and is in "hiding" like I am everyday. You may have come across my blog and thought "sad girl in hiding... what does that even mean?" Well, like I said, I have bad depression and it's something I have to fight everyday. The "hiding" part is pretty much the way it sounds- I hide my illness because I am scared of what others will think, say, or do. Only a few choice people in my life know, but other than that, most people around me have no clue. To be in "hiding" for me is pretending that nothing is wrong and acting like I am so happy and bubbly, when really I'm aching inside and it took a serious battle just to get out of bed this morning. Everyday I'm in "hiding" and nobody has come to find me yet. Hardly anybody knows that I am sad almost all of the time and that I'm not the happy, carefree, friendly teenage girl they think they know.

 

I hope that explains me and my new blog a little bit better... If you also suffer from depression, I hope you will become a regular reader of my blog. I will try to post daily about how I am doing and try to give help and what not wherever is needed. Please comment nice things only, and if you'd like to be in touch with me, I would LOVE to hear from you! Thanks:)
