This is my final farewell. You all deserve some sort of explanation and I will give it to you. Whether or not I choose to give you the whole story is unsure. I'll tell you at the end of this entry and if you desire to know, all you have to do is e-mail me.

There have been numerous things going on with my younger brother. You all know him by now. He's been dating this manipulative, needy, bitchy, pushy girl. He skips school and smokes with her and his other friends. He has also alienated himself from the family and no longer cares what he does. He leaves during the day without telling us where he goes and doesn't come home until late at night. Midnight or later.

My older brother had surgery. Mom's been a nervous wreck.

And then there are my own emotional problems. I've been fighting depression for the last three years and I've been fighting it alone. No meds, nothing. I tried meds at one point for a good half of a year, but they only made me feel worse. I try to be happy for all those around me, but it's worn me out. I can't keep up with the pace anymore.

I can't sleep at night. I haven't been able to get a full night's sleep for over a week and a half. And that is adding further to my stress.

So I'm leaving deviantART. It's simpler and one less thing I'll have to deal with.

I've told you most of the story. But there's some stuff I have left out. So, this is my last, and final, journal update on deviantART. I hope you all have a good one.
