My Beliefs

My Beliefs

When I was admitted into the hospital it felt like part of my life was gone. When I was told I was going to be hospitalized for depression, I felt ashamed and alone. My mom told me that she couldn’t believe that this was happening to one of her daughters. This made me feel worse.

I was in a hospital for 1 week to help me get better because I was struggling with depression. My mom and my counselor were helping me by talking to me and telling me to open up and talk about my feelings. I didn’t want to, because I had always kept my feelings inside to myself, so it was a little bit hard for me to talk to people about my feelings.

I finally decided to listen to them because I knew that what they were telling me was the best thing for me to do so I could get better. I realized that with out my mom’s word I would have fallen down by now. Before, what my mom had said to me hurt me, but now she had apologized and was much more supportive. I didn’t want to disappoint myself because I knew I had to try to do what was best for me, even when I didn’t want to which was opening up and talking about my feelings. This experience has taught me that I believe in not letting your self down.

When I make my decision now, I always try express my personal experiences to myself and others. I believe that I can achieve anything that is within me and not to let myself fall down even though sometimes I fall without knowing what to do.

I have come to understand that this lesson has taught me a lot about myself this past year. I might not make it all the way to the top, but I have to try and that means a lot to me. There’s very little that can bring me down. If you let yourself down there’s always someone there to help you get back up.
