Read the instructions then the notes and credits. My life in months: "The tunnel to recovery is like a dark, long, narrow tunnel with spiders and roaches. I trip on the rocks and I'm trying to be strong, but I am covered in scars from tripping on them and letting them affect me with little to no band-aids. Some rocks are big and some are small. I can barely see the light ahead. It could take a long time to get to the end of the tunnel and into the place of my dreams. It takes progress to get there and I just started going through the tunnel to recovery."
All my friends and family find me humorous, but I hide the pain behind it. My mom also knew that I was hiding pain behind my humor. My parents and my sister know about my depression. I have a therapist and she made me a safety plan. She also gave me homework to do which was to write down one good thing I did every day for this week. I just want to escape reality into my own world.. Also since I'm autistic, when I cry, it's hard for me to explain emotions when my friends ask me why I was crying. Instead, I write my emotions through a note to a friend that I feel safe around to explain.
