author - "Trixie Belle"
I was inspired to write this letter to Nikki Sixx (bassist of Mötley Crüe) after I read his novel, "The Heroin Diaries".
It made me realise that I was on a destructive and potentially fatal path, and that I needed to get help.
I never did post this letter to Nikki, but I'm making it public now.
Two years ago, I was lost in a pit of despair. I thought that I was a failure, a disgrace. I couldn't believe that anyone could ever love me, nor did I deserve to be loved. I now know that I was suffering from teenage depression.
And this is the diary that came from the depths of sadness.
I want to bring teenage depression into the public eye, so that all the young people that are suffering out there right now know that they're not alone.
Teenage depression is tragically common, and people need to realise that it doesn't just, "blow over".
