I had been depressed for a period of 4 months that felt like 4 years.

During that time, I thought about dying 999 times more than I thought about living.

300 times I sliced the fragile skin around my hips open with a razorblade.

I wrote 1 incomplete suicide note.

A therapist saw me once a week for 15 weeks and thought I was too pretty to hate myself.

She had no idea I could look in the mirror only once a day for 60 seconds.

5 nights I spent in a cold, dry, and putrid mental facility.
