Life gets better I promise <3

I don't know who need to hear this but holy shit this really do get better when you're in the right environment. I, for example, have been severely mentally ill for almost 7 years now, all of it mostly being started due to my seizure medication that I was put on at the ripe age of 9. I went through the worst of it, resorted to destroying myself, all the way from harming myself to even forcing myself into relationships simply because I was overdependent on people, not allowing myself to breathe and be my own person. 7 whole years of this and recently, I've just felt..happy. Maybe even healthy for the first time since I remember. I genuinely recall when I would sit around, watching video after video, seeing people talk bout how things would get better, and how I felt my depression was never ending, or how I felt that it was lifelong, and to the point I didn't see myself growing past the ripe age of 18. I'm 16 now, and after going through what I would consider the lowest I will ever consider for years on end, Id like to say that it does get better, Maybe it wont be for a year, maybe it wont be for ten years, maybe it'll be tomorrow for all you know, it comes around. It doesn't matter if you need to rely on a comfort object, that favorite character you find sooths your soul, or if you need to rely on a person just slightly, I promise each and every person it really really does get better. Please, please don't give up on anything in your life because out in this vast world there is so much to chase. There's so much to wonder on for, so many people to search for even if you don't know if they exist yet, there are so so so many things that you should stick around for. Maybe its for your mom, your family or friends, or maybe its for something small, like a plushie you cant bother to leave behind, or maybe even a pet, its something that grounds you, its something that's so so so important that it keeps you here, that alone, is a sign you should continue. Please take care of yourself, please see that light in your soul, even if its dimmed, please light it once more and continue your journey. Find that hobby you've wanted to do, dress that certain way you've been wanting, get that silly trinket you've been eyeing down that makes you smile just a tad. Find that happiness in your soul and brighten it. It sounds corny, but I've never meant anything more. Find who you are, who you want to be, and take action in that. Don't allow your sadness to dull your once bright soul, but rather, chase what you were always meant to be, and to do.
