Episode 9: “Unbecoming who the World forced me to be...” By Anonymous “Zee”

Dear Diary,

Welcome to “The Indigo Diaries”. Join host Natasha Hickling as she retells the diary of an anonymous new guest, “Zee,” in the ninth diary entry of the series.

Please be aware that this episode touches on some topics some listeners may find it difficult to hear, including suicide, trauma, self-harm and depression. If you do not feel comfortable listening, then please come back for the next episode.

“Zee” is a young woman who currently lives abroad working in a secondary school setting. She was recently diagnosed with ADHD combined type after a lifetime of living in the shadow of depression, shame, and self-criticism. Getting diagnosed finally allowed her to forgive her 16-year-old self, to whom she thought she owed her life.

Join us today as we retell her story and see her bravery in trying to un-become everything the world forced her to be.

We hope you enjoyed this very touching and genuine diary entry today. If you have ever been or find yourself in a similar situation to Zee, please reach out to someone close or someone that can help. Here is a link to international hotlines all over the world. (http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html).

No matter where you are, there is always someone to listen!

Have a good week ahead, and know that you are enough, and you are always heard!!

Until next time...
