I was pretty studious kid and was a genius for my age until class 8. I became depressed, suicidal, spoke way less than before and my mind filled with anxiety.

It was very comfortable for me in my room scrolling Instagram. A few days later, I got to know about my exam schedule. That night, I cried a lot, for 3 hours straight unable to take breath? Why? The first reason was that my parents had a huge fight but that was probably insignifi...
