My life has been full of upsets and major trials. I’ve gone through difficult times that weren’t easy, but they strengthened myself and brought to light concepts that are spiritually enlightening. Depression isn’t an easy circumstance, but it allows us to realize our purpose in life and why we’re here. The facts in life can be better by those who fix them and try. Little insults people say can build a big impact on life and it causes heartbreak and makes me stronger. Life will be tough, but the Lord will provide the help as needed.

I was to the point of suicidal thoughts and actions. So mid-summer I went into the bathroom and tried to overdose. “I just wanted the world to stop and pain to not be as intense.” It didn’t work, someone or something prevented me from dying, and I became super sick instead.

So we packed up and moved for me and the job opportunity my father took.
The rest of my sophomore year I was trying my hardest to eat well and not cut. Then, I made a friend and he referred me to a scripture that changed my life forever. Alma 38:5, which reads, “And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that as much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day.” I read it so it was specifically talking to me and I then realized praying to the Lord was helpful and if we do all we are to do the Lord would bless
