Please use our comment form to add your message for Jayna and other youth who may be struggling with depression.

 I'm very impressed by your courage to share your story. I'm certain other young people will identify with your experiences and the sense of ambivalence about whether connecting with a counsellor will help or not. You have also focused in on how counselling can really assist in guiding people to tap into some of those individual strengths and resources they already have to persevere through difficult times. and realize all the potential that may have gone unnoticed otherwise.

Thank you for showing so much leadership in speaking up and in being candid!

Jayna - You are a very brave woman. Thank you for sharing your story. You have helped me to understand my father better. He is 89 and living with depression.

I wish you good friends and continued good health.

 Jayna - your strength shines through in your photo. Your story is a very real and moving account of how depression and anxiety gradually takes over one's life.  I'm so happy that you have found a way forward. Your willingness to share your journey will provide inspiration and hope to many others.    ~Diana

  “It was quite refreshing to witness the steps you have taken to overcome depression and anxiety. Your taking the risk of sharing your story with other people tells me that you are a strong person. Also I believe that you are a compassionate person as by sharing your story you are trying to reach out to those youth who today stand in a place in which you stood a few years ago.

Your story is a story of courage, inspiration and hope! I am very proud of you!!!” ~Shamsa
