Rediscovery
I used to be a happy child with a loving family and many friends. I had a 36 that cold brighten a could winter day and I had a special love for life.
At twelve, my life had a huge breakdown. It was then that I 37 OCD(强迫症). I started to wash my hands ten times an hour, and I constantly 38 my kitchen oven to make sure that it was off. This way of life continued for four painful years, and by then, my OCD had led to depression(抑郁). I was no longer the 39 little girl I had been.
In the tenth grade I finally 40 to my mother that I was suffering from depression along with my OCD. My mom took me to a doctor and I started taking 41 . Over a few months, the medicine did help the OCD, but I still was struggling with depression.
One autumn evening, I hit rock bottom. I thought suicide(自杀)was the only 42 to my depression problem, so I decided to write a suicide note. As I was 43 it, my eyes fell on a photo. It was a 44 of an adorable little girl, wearing her red soccer uniform and holding a bike helmet. She had a bright smile that showed she was full of life.
It took me a few minutes to 45 who the girl in the photo was. The photo had been taken when I was seven years old. I almost couldn’t believe that smiling child was me. I felt a chill go down my spine(脊柱). It was like my younger self had sent me a 46 . Right then and there I knew I couldn’t kill myself. Once I had been a strong little girl, and I had to become 47 like that again.
I tore up my suicide note and 48 that I would not rely only on my medicine. I would have to fight the depression with my mind, too. I could make myself happy again.
It has been two years since I 49 myself. The real reason I am healed is that I took action and refused to let depression 50 my life. I learned a lifelong 51 : Never give up. Everyone has challenges in life, but everyone can 52 . I am living proof of that.
Now I am prepared for whatever 53 life may bring. I have a role model to 54 up to for strength, and who is guiding me 55 life. My hero is a seven-year-old girl, smiling back at me from a photo on my desk.
