First of all: I'm sorry if this becomes a huge wall of text :>

I think I need to thank you guys, you may not know it, but you have been there in the darkest moments of my life. I wanted to share this with you, and tell you the struggle I went through.

OCTOBER 2014:

Some time during October, I finally gathered the courage to ask out a girl I liked from school. I got rejected by her, and (to be honest) I knew she would say no, but what she said really surprised me. She said "Why would I go out with someone as ugly and retarded as you??". I was extremely hurt by this, but it didn't end there... The next day in school, people were laughing at me and saying "Haha you ugly retard!!". She had told 5 girls in my year about what happened yesterday, and it eventually, everybody knew about it. People said things like that for nearly 2 weeks before it died down. I thought that was the end, oh boy was I wrong!

DECEMBER 2014:

Sometime in December, my crush went out with someone in 1ST year (We were in 2ND Year at the time). People were saying "Oh Adam, you've got competition for (My crush)!". I decided to introduce myself to him (What a mistake that was). When I saw him, he was with my crush. I said to him "You're (My crush) new boyfriend right?" to which he replied, "Yeah, have you got a fucking problem about it?". This made me extremely scared that I could fuck up and he would kill me. I replied "No I don't have any problem with it, I just wanted to introduce myself". He burst out laughing and they both walked off. From this point onwards, me and my crush regularly got into fights on Facebook. She would tell her boyfriend and he would message me things like, "Stay away from my girlfriend or I kill you!" or simply "Do you want to die?". Other people also got involved. They knew I still liked her, but they made life a living hell. They made me WATCH THEM making out! Or the just insulted me as I passed. Then came the Christmas Exams. During these, my crush just snapped, and said to me "Adam, the world would be a better place without you, fucking kill yourself!". That was my breaking point. She told everyone and by Christmas Day, everybody knew what happened.

JANUARY 2015:

I isolated myself from people and started feeling suicidal. I didn't slit my wrist, I didn't slash my neck, instead I opted for one I knew would affect her. Overdosing on Paracetamol. I knew this would affect her because one of her friends tried to kill herself this way, she failed, I wont. I got more depressed as the weeks went by, I felt like nobody liked me, or cared about be, that was until I encountered the furry fandom.

FEBRUARY 2015:

I came across the Furry Fandom sometime in early February, and I loved it. I only recently made an account here, and you guys are amazing! You may not know it, but you guys have pulled me back from the edge and made me feel like there is a reason to live on your life. I am no longer depressed, but regretting even talking to her. I really have to thank you guys!

You guys are awesome! (Or since this is a furry community) PAWSOME! Gives you a High Paw :>

Please, stay this way,

I've realized that a lot of people in the fandom sometimes have very similar issues, and I'd like to take a moment to invite people to give advice that they think would be helpful to furries.

So, what good advice do you have to offer?

Here's some that I have:

• Be open to critique; it may be hard to hear people picking apart something that you love and worked hard on, but ultimately it will make your work so much better!

• You don't have to dislike people for having a different opinion than you, nor should you feel the need to try to change or argue against someone else's opinion because it differs from your own.

• People will be more likely to like you if you like you.

• Stay away from petty drama & accusations without facts.

• EDIT: If you like a post and/or the content that it is creating, upvote it! c;

(Marked NSFW for possibly triggering material.)

Thank you all so much.

Exactly three months ago I was diagnosed with depression. I had stress headaches that crippled my ability to leave the house. I was jobless for 4 months (even though I'm only 17). I even self harmed frequently, and was still single after all my life.

Then things changed.

I have gotten ride of my old fursona. She was a mean, cruel, loud dragon, who I created at the peak of my depression. She reflected what made me mentally ill. She reflected what I hated in me and others.

Now as the anti depressions and the lovely support from the lovely furry fandom, I have started to see hope in the world again. I got a girlfriend, my parents accepted me as gay (I'm a bisexual female for context), got my first job in months, and passed all the tests I thought I would fail.

To reflect this I have changed my fursona from this cruel dragon to a fluffy angel dragon named Sunny. She reflects what I live for in this world. Joy, hope, kindness, and loyalty. I feel better than I have in possibly years. And I have some of you here on this site to thank for that.

Stay strong, things will always get better.
