Why did I make this site?
I feel like everyone needs a reason to live. I could possibly make a small difference in someone's life just by making them smile or by showing them that there are other options. There isn't just death. Someone will care. I was a depressed teenager and I am glad I didn't commit suicide. I still get stressed sometimes and I think this site will also be a great reminder to me. If I ever get really low, I can look on past posts and remind myself that death is not the only way out.
How often am I going to update?
Whenever I come up with something. I'm almost always on the computer. I think of things all the time and I'll probably put funny videos or cheerful quotes. I'll try to be "uplifting" and I will not go AWOL because that is the last thing the viewers will need.
Can you contact me?
Yes! I will put my contact information somewhere on this site. I want to be available for my viewers and I may do some Questions of the Week or Questions of the Day thing. I want to be as helpful as I can. I want to be there for you. Many teenagers going through depression feel like they don't have anyone. I will respond to the emails I feel deserve I response (I'm not going to email you back if you're calling me names or trolling me). I will respond as fast as possible, but sometimes it takes me a while to get back to you. But I promise to respond if you're serious or if you just want to say hi.
Who am I anyway?
Just a "normal" college girl by the name of Leah. I use the term normal loosely because who knows what normal is anyways. I am strange and that is considered normal to most people. I am studying psychology, but I am in no way a professional. I live in an average-sized town in California where the schizophrenia patients are almost as common as the people without it. I find them fascinating. I have 3 brain diseases, but you could never tell. That is, unless you looked in my medicine cabinet. I act completely normal. I look completely normal. There are some things people just never know.
