For Life To Be Beautiful Again

Hi, my name is Giulia. I'm from Italy, I'm 18 years old and I struggle with mental illness. I used to be an amiable and passionate teenager, who loved playing the piano and drawing. I used to be so creative, I had a lot of friends who loved me and a great family. Nevertheless, I always felt different. I always felt something was wrong with me. And I had the confirmation when I moved to another country, when I felt something shift. The situation escalated fast. I started losing weight and it was just a matter of weeks before the dark spiral of depression started to creep upon me. I started self-harming only a month after we moved. It seemed to get better, and it actually did for a while, but then everything got worse again. In February 2017 I was diagnosed with major depression, severe anxiety and anorexia nervosa. Since then, I've been admitted to hospital twice. The 2nd of May of 2017 I tried to kill myself. I felt empty, hopeless. This led to my first hospitalization. Because of my illness I also had to drop out of high school. I've been in therapy for more than a year now and it helped a lot, but I'm still far from the goal we have to reach, and this is were you come into the story. Unfortunately therapy is really expensive and our economical situation has never been the best. Both my parents are unemployed and we don't know how to pay my therapy sessions anymore. On top of that, we've been given an eviction notice and we don't have a car anymore, which makes everything even more complicated. This being said, I ask you all to help me. I'm working so hard for life to be beautiful again, but I can't do it without you. Thank you for your support x
