This went on for 2 years then 2 of my close friends OD'd and were taken to hospital and I came to realisation, "What am I doing? Life is for living not for regrets." So with help from friends I picked myself back up again.

Now I'm a much happier person. Bad things happen, there's no way of escaping it, but there's more releases than moping to Drowning Pool candles in your room with a razorblade. My release is writing music now. Always appreciated it but never used it to calm myself until then.

That's my longest post ever LOL

Yeah man, but it's not about being emo if you get me. I have a problem with the fact that people assume it's only 'deep' depressed emo teens who do it. All sorts of people do it, the Emos that people usually think of are middle class kids who are following the trend.
