My Sunshine

I suffer every hour of every day of chronic depression. I have never had a perfect life, I grew up with alcoholic and druggy parents who told me I wasn't going to go anywhere. I started to notice how increasing sad I had been in 6th grade. I was just overwhelmed with all of these emotions and on top of that my family wasn’t very support and just told me I was over reacting. My brother had abused me when I was younger, I would tell my parents about what he did to me when they were out of the house but they would just tell me siblings fight, it normal. I had been making perfect grades in school, when I started sixth grade I promised myself I would never be like my family. I barely had any friends because of the bullying that had …show more content…
I couldn’t sleep at night because my parents were constantly fighting. I cried every night not knowing if I could go another day. My mom quit drinking but my father was a raging alcoholic. On social media I would see all of these depressed kids who were cutting and I thought maybe it would help, I had cuts from elbow to wrist on both arms and all over my legs, my friends saw them and they told the school concealer.

When I went to court I had received a year of probation and had a fine of $425. I felt worthless like I was turning into my parents and I attempted to kill myself again by taking a full bottle of sleeping pills. My mom took me to the doctor the next day and they didn't believe I took sleeping pills they believed I was on drugs. I had to go to crisis again but I was out of therapy by that point so I didn't have to discuss why I had attempted to kill myself.
In 9th grade, my life started to turn around. I felt like a completely different person. I had changed myself for the better and made many new friends. I felt happy for once. I was making good grades and having a fun time in school. My home life was getting better. I had a court date I had to go to for Matthew, he only got 3 years of probation but he has to say he is a child predator for the rest of his life. I took that pretty rough knowing that this man had basically got away with raping

In other words, gameplay is the direct emotional opposite of depression. Therefore, gameplay can provoke positive emotions. When we’re playing a good game—when we’re tackling unnecessary obstacles—we are actively moving ourselves toward the positive end of the emotional spectrum. Others choose hard work that requires…
