Thank you Zak, my mental health wasn’t great for many years ever since I was 12, I’m now 23 and I’m much better. I have a video about my story, if anyone wants to watch it. I only just put it up.

I did the same thing until i had a break down before work and quit. My anxiety and depression and panic is too much and today i finally could admit it out loud

Zac, thanks for sharing your story in such a public forum and for providing enlightenment on the thoughts and feelings that teens may have when they are experiencing a depressive episode.  I liked your mantra "keep going, keep going."
