Spring 2014 – Two Days in a Life
Entry in Erik’s personal journal, July 26, 2013: “I woke up with vague memories of hurting myself last night. I didn’t tell anyone. I have stayed in my room all day avoiding my parents. I don’t want them to know. I can’t tell anyone my bad thoughts. I have been very depressed for awhile now and have not been having real good thoughts about myself, not really liking myself very much I guess. I don’t take any medications anymore. I have lost contact with all my friends. I used to work sometimes, not anymore. I’m not doing much at all. After those thoughts above, I guess I hurt myself again, this time pretty bad. My parents found me and called an ambulance.”
