Two weeks ago, I attempted suicide and ended up in the hospital. My life changed a lot overnight because my parents found out about my self-harm, I got sent to rehab for a week, I finally got officially diagnosed with depression (and an eating disorder), and I'm now on medications and back in therapy.

But I've also made the decision to take this as an opportunity and turn my life around. I'm going to recover from both the self-harm and eating issues. I know that the depression will always be an issue and I'll never be totally 'normal' but I feel like I've turned a corner.
