{@quote} "Just remember, if all else fails, that you're not worthless to me. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
{@reason} Once upon a time, there was a girl who suffered from a severe case of depression and schizophrenia. Frequently, she would go to bed crying because she thought she was worthless, that it wouldn't get better. She thought everybody hated her, and more than anything, wanted to just curl up and die. She truly thought that the world would be a better place without her.
That girl is me.
I know this sounds made up and cliché, but this actually happens to me quite often. Just earlier, an event occurred that made me want to just pick up a knife and end it all. But I didn't. For some reason, I just couldn't do it. I texted my friend - a girl who's suffered through what I'm going through, and things far worse - and she texted back the quote I'm using for this adopt. I'm still crying about it.
When I found this adopt, and saw it was a quote contest, I immediately thought back to that quote and how it changed my life - for the better or for the worst, I'm still trying to figure out. I want it to inspire others, to let them know that even in the darkest time, there's still someone you mean the world to.
That is why I chose my quote.
(If anyone would like to further discuss this form, or the story in it, please PM me. I also ask that no one uses or claims that quote as their own.)
Now that the existential crisis has passed, I'm not leaving! Sorry for the momentary scare, folks!
