By Isaac
Hello my name is Isaac (17), I’ve suffered from my mental illnesses since I was 14. I’ve been diagnosed with Anxiety, Panic attacks, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. And this is because of the perfectionism that is put inside all of us. Do you also find you always have to please others, and never yourself?
I want to tell you, YES, YOU! out there reading this right now, this one thing. We all live in a world right now where each one of us is treated like an animal and not like a human being.
Never yourself?
Live, work, and satisfy others, but never yourself, making other people happy but never yourself. It’s like a wheel that turns every time in the same direction without pleasing your own self. And then, that can end with suicide.
I have had suicidal thoughts since I was 14, almost every day, because of the perfect image everyone wants to see of me. The only 3 things that keep me still here are Jesus & God, whom I found in my weakest time in 2015, and music, because I am a songwriter and have a dream to become a singer in a metal band.
Be a metal warrior!
I want to help people like you lay down everything which puts pressure on you and be the person you want to be! There are no limits! Be a metal warrior!!
Here is a line from my song, The metal warrior => “This will not be the last path I will go, I will run, I will fight, I am the metal warrior of the night, and the villain with the sword to be alive! I will run, I will fly, like the iron eagle in the sky! And I am the metal warrior with the axe of light!”
FIGHT! FLY! AND RUN! I know I will win this fight and so will you!
