A few months ago I started going to counselling because of depression. I was on the verge of giving up. As i sat in my room one night looking at a bottle of whiskey i decided that this had to stop. I looked up some websites and arranged to have a counselling session.
It wasnt easy going to that first session, I didnt know what to expect, I didnt know how I was going to react to talking about my problems but I knew I had to so something.
I went and it was ok, so I decided to keep it up. I went through some awful times, I spent my birthday in bed crying all day, I thought about jumping in front of a train, I thought there was no end in sight for me. I kept going to counselling and I kept trying to help myself and things got better. Then as I felt I was back on top of things I had my heart broken, I'll admit it knocked me back a bit but thankfully with the skills Iv learned from counselling I'm coping pretty well with it.

What I'm trying to say I suppose is that no matter how sh!tty you feel you can change that, you are in charge of how you feel, no one else. I think the most important thing I've learned is that I and only I am in charge of how I feel and its the same for anyone else.

I hope that if you are going through a tough time that you read this and realise that things can and will get better, its not easy but it can be done.
