I'm 14 and I've been diagnosed as bi polar, OCD, ADHD, and was diagnosed with PTSD. I was physically, mentally, and emotionally abuse for fours years. My dad chose drugs over me, and my mom became an alcoholic. I woke up everyday and kept wanting to live in the past because i told myself that i could've stopped it all from going downhill and i blamed myself for everything. I went into treatment and realized that my past is going to keep hurting me only if I keep deciding to drown myself in it. I used to cut and every time i got upset, I wanted to die... but i found a way out of it all. I stopped living in the past and i started living my life. It wasn't as easy as it seems, but in the end, the only thing I ever needed was the thing I had all along.... My voice! I write out all my pain and poetry has helped me so much and i just want to share my poetry with everyone just to let them know that they're not alone!! The most valuable thing I learned in treatment is that it's not how you fall, it's how you pick yourself back up!
