I’m 15 years old. I suffer from depression and hyperactivity and anxiety. I’m personally a very sensitive person. I have a lot of trauma from my past. I’ve been to 4 mental hospitals and none helped. I realized after some time, that NO ONE else can help you except yourself. You can get in the information and advice but YOU are the only person who can use the advice.

- You mentioned you suffer from hyperactivity; do you currently have any coping skills that you utilize? Have you attempted using art as coping skills?

- I think you are doing a great job at understanding how it is important for people to be open to advice and taking the steps themselves to work with that advice. At the end of the day, you are correct. We are the first step. It is similar to walking up a large hill.
