@lauren_mcdonough: I wasn’t supposed to be here. For years I didn’t think I would live long enough to have a future. I spent my adolescence trying to end my life and bed ridden from depression. At 19, during one of the darkest moments of my life, I tried to end it again. A train hit me. I survived… but I lost both of my legs. Doctors told me I would never walk again. They were wrong. But the hardest part wasn’t learning to walk again. It was learning how to live again. Now, years later, the girl who once tried to leave this world several times is launching her own mental health movement. Life is strange like that. #fyp #storytime #mentalhealth #keepgoing #foryou
