I felt like I needed to update this story. I got two emails yesterday or reviews and I realized I should respond. I did start a sequel and I'm going to try to pick it back up.

Nobody:So, um. I'm really enjoying this so far! It's very well written. Personally, I've never gone to any extremes, but I have done almost exactly what Connor did at the beginning of this chapter. I want to thank you for getting details right, and for writing this story.

Sincerely,

Me

Thank you so much! I feel like a lot of fanfics/media romanticize suicidal thoughts/suicide and I don't want to show that. I want to show what actually happens. - Lucy

August 2019:

Stella:The first DEH song I heard was "You Will Be Found". It popped up in my recommended on YouTube, and I, for whatever reason tapped it. Seconds in a was crying, then it started "you are not alone" they said it over, and over, and over again. I started bawling and started talking to my mom about my depression the next day. I now have the correct medication and savor every happy moment I have. DEH will always have a special place in my heart, and it's stories like this that make me feel less and less alone in this world. I'm sorry for the long vent, but reading stuff like this helps a lot, and I hope you continue to help people who need it through your own experiences.

I hope to see more soon. Bye for now!

I love how DEH really helps people. I'm so proud of you for reaching out and getting better! I plan on becoming a music therapist and I hope to work at a hospital so I can help many people. - Lucy

Emma Russell:Bro, you're a Sophomore now. That's so cool. Now I feel super young, being a flipping freshman and all...

I'm actually a freshman too! :) - Lucy

:Oh my god. I am so sorry about your mother. That sounds horrible...

God. When I was at a low point last year, I never got to that point, but damn, the only person that knew(holy s***, my phone just auto corrected to their name-) was in the same boat as me and neither of us told a soul. Still won't tell my mom for 5 years tho, don't need anyone else know that recent of an experience, otherwise they'll get all freaky. Try to put me on drugs, or get me counseling, or some s***, even though I'm better now.

Don't apologize. When something as big as a suicide attempt happens, people react in different ways to handle their emotions. I've moved on from it. But, taking medicine, going to therapy/counselling is NOT FREAKY. You have to take care of all parts of yourself, your mental health being one. If you're better now, that's great, but don't be ashamed of the place you once were. Be honest and open to your family, and explain that you're better now. - Lucy
