I’ve been struggling with depression for years and last winter it was especially bad bc I was living far away from home in a pretty isolated place to work for a year. One of the few people I could talk to there introduced me to BTS and just… Watching them work hard, achieve their dreams and be rewarded for it was such an inspiration for me, it pretty much turned a lot of my views upside down. I started dancing, discovered my love for it and haven’t been better in years My sis loves them too :D

I’ve battled with depression thrice in my life. While my first I overcome fairly quickly. My second time had been my worst, around fifteen years old. I hit my rock bottom and become very suicidal. I hated myself and I hurt myself in various ways daily. After a couple years people noticed and a school counselor approached me. I wasn’t ready but I kept it in mind and a couple months later after I finally realized I didn’t deserve to be hurting anymore, I reached out to that counselor. (1/2)
I began counseling with her throughout the remainder of high school. Through that experience, both with her help and a lot of effort on my end I overcame my depressive episode. Unfortunately, I went through something quite traumatic and I fell into another depressive episode that lasted for a couple of years. It’s been a rough ride but I can say with confidence that through friends, counseling, and self-discipline/care I’m feeling like myself once again. Keep going, friends. You got this. (2/2)

“Keep going, friends.” Such inspiring and strong words. THANK YOU ❤
I suffer depression and severe social anxiety. At the beginning of this year, I swore off school. I didn’t go outside for MONTHS. I stopped talking to my friends, I became an unwilling hermit. 2 months later I started a program that would help with my social anxiety. I’m not back to school, but I go outside once a week. I initiate conversations occasionally. I’m not as anxious in a few situations as I use to be. I’m no where near healthy, or good. But I’m getting better. It does get better.

You are amazing dear for not giving up. And yes it does get better. Thank you ❤
Hi Mimi, its Lydia!thank you so much for asking this, its so sweet of you. ive spent most of this year crying, having panick attacks, etc as ive lost almost all my friends and other stuff. When ly tear came out, I listened to each song on repeat so i could feel and understand them. It helped me realize that others hurt and that its ok to cry, magic shop taught me how to self reflect without hating. I havent broken down since. I still cant look at my reflection but im better. It gets better!💜

I tried to be the perfect girl my mom wanted. And this, since my childhood. Like, having good grades in school wasn’t a problem, even though I’ve always stressed a lot for as long as I can remember. I didn’t let myself play as much as the other kids, was always praised for being quiet, kind, and intelligent. I was a good girly girl. But… it wasn’t me. And this wish to be perfect, no matter what, well it ate me from the inside, and the last 4 years have taken a toll on me. I hated myself. 1/5
What I was calling stress turned out to be anxiety. I couldn’t connect with other people without being scared of being hurt. I may have been depressed, that I don’t know. But I know I used to watch cars pass and wish to throw myself under them. I never acted on those thoughts. Mostly because it wouldn’t make a difference, and all I would do is hurt others. I cried often, nearly every day. The only way I wouldn’t crack was if someone was in the same room because I would still have to act like 2/5 everything’s fine, the perfect girl is perfectly fine. I couldn’t see a future for myself. I was in university (still am) and I failed a lot of my exams. Two years ago, I was so out of it I wouldn’t go to class sometimes and would stay in bed crying and hating myself a bit more every day. I hid myself from the few friends I had and my family. And nothing was touching me anymore. Then I re-discovered BTS, and I listened to Tomorrow and I cried so hard. I had become a robot without noticing. 3/5 I decided to take that matter in my own hands and after being reassured by the only friend I didn’t completely shut out, I went to see a psychologist and asked for help. It’s been a year since that first visit, and I don’t think about dying anymore. I’ve passed most of my exams. I’ve rediscovered the beauty in this world that was hidden from me. My anxiety is still there, but I’m learning to do with it and to lower it a bit. I’m not always successful yet, but I can’t deny that I’m alright now4/5 There are still shadows but I’m not alone anymore. I cut my hair short. I wear ripped jeans. I dance in my home (badly), I sing off key. My drawings aren’t dark anymore. I talk to people. Sometimes I hide myself again behind my mask. Sometimes I’m so fucking tired of it, of me. But I know it’s only a bad day, and I don’t feel courageous enough to fight it. That’s okay. You can’t always win. It will pass. Tomorrow, tomorrow has the possibility of being better. You’ll see tomorrow. 5/6 (sorry) And if I was wrong, there’s always another one coming. Tomorrow makes me dream. I’ve learned to love myself a bit more. By knowing who I am. I haven’t discovered everything yet, and as much as it stresses the heck out of me I have a whole life to do so. I have my own principles, my own beliefs. I deserve to treat myself as well as I treat others because I’m a human being, too. Whoever you are, you deserve to give yourself as much as you give others because, spoiler, you’re human too. 6/6

I am glad you are starting new and being more yourself ^^. I am super duper proud of you and yes Tomorrow is THAT song that cut deep but heals well too.
I had to shift states & back to my parent’s because I was suicidal & was feeling pretty defeated when I discovered BTS. Watching them work hard & achieve their dreams inspire me. Step by step,slowly but surely I’m on my road to recovery,and their music is a BIG part of it.

I am glad you found BTS dear and I wish you the best of luck in your recovery ❤
In the past I believed the worst for my self. I thought i was fat and ugly. All of us go through similar stages at some point in life. It needs a lot of strength and will to go through it. The hardest love is for yourself and it can not happen from one day to another. Its ok if u arent ready for self love (sometimes the best we can do is not want to destroy ourselvess) you arent a failure for struggling with self love…you are doing just fine 💜

It is true self-love doesn’t come in a day and that’s what I find even more amazing about the love yourself series. It is a series, not just one song telling us to love ourselves. It took BTS 2017 and 2018 to bring this message to us. Self-love ain’t easy but when you succeed it is the best.
Thank you dear for sharing your story and you are one o the most beautiful girls I know ^^
