Depression is something that so many teens experience, but often don't understand or know how to cope with. As a teen, and as an adult, I have struggled with anxiety and depression that truly have made my life feel hopeless at times. I always knew I had a certain predisposition to depression, but I thought that because of that predisposition, it was okay that I had it, and I was just going to live with it and have to "just deal" with the symptoms and ways it affected me in my everyday life. I truly was not happy growing up. I had so much to be happy about and certain things made me happy, but as a human being, I wasn't happy. I joked about my depression because I always knew I had it and thought that I could joke about it to alleviate the fears racing through my brain. Fears of not being good enough and wishing that I could be a different person, or anything to not be me were an everyday occurrence. It took about a million breakdowns and breaking points until I finally realized that I wasn't okay and needed help. And wow, did that change everything. Depression is not "just okay" and it shouldn't just be something we sit back and deal with. My depression prevented me from being able to enjoy running, and when running became the issue, I am so glad that I had such an amazing group of support to help me get through it and get to the point I am at today where I truly find joy in running and use it to relieve stress and take in the beauty of nature. Not nearly enough awareness is given to teens and families about mental illnesses, and depression specifically . Access to these educational resources and programs should be given out to every single family of every single child. It is never too late to educate people on how to save the life of a loved one or be able to potentially prevent them from feeling the hopelessness that depression can cause if not handled properly. I know I was not educated enough, and being in the world of education, I know that students are not educated enough about these things . Access to quality resources is expensive and hard to come by. Whether you have mental illness, love somebody with mental illness, or even just have talked to someone with mental illness, you can help in any way possible. I understand that not every individual is able to contribute financially to this cause. Any contribution, whether it is a financial contribution or simply just words of encouragement as I train for my first ever full marathon is greatly appreciated. I am so grateful to this amazing organization for being open to me applying, to my family (especially my mom) for always supporting me, and to God for being with me and helping me to always trust and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for everything you continuously do to support me! Even just getting to the end of this and reading a small part of my story will make me beyond happy.

Erika's Lighthouse is determined to make sure no young person feels alone in their depression. We are dedicated to creating a community of empathy and education. We create middle school and high school teen depression awareness programs so educators and teens can create safe spaces to learn about depression, letting students know they are never alone, and there is somewhere to turn.
