Humans of Utica #16

“My greatest struggle is my depression and not feeling accepted for who I am. When I went to Ford, I played football where I wasn’t accepted for doing what I love. While there, I was bullied a lot from a team that was supposed to care about me. From here, I lost a lot of my happiness, which sent me into a spiraling depression. It has been three and a half years since I was there, and I still struggle with feeling accepted by those I consider friends. I still have my depression, but I have to admit that I am better than what I was before.”
