10.Rediscovery
I used to be a happy child with a loving family and many friends.I had a(36)D that cold brighten a could winter day and I had a special love for life.
At twelve,my life had a huge breakdown.It was then that I (37)C OCD(强迫症).I started to wash my hands ten times an hour,and I constantly (38)A my kitchen oven to make sure that it was off.This way of life continued for four painful years,and by then,my OCD had led to depression(抑郁).I was no longer the (39)B little girl I had been.
In the tenth grade I finally(40)A to my mother that I was suffering from depression along with my OCD.My mom took me to a doctor and I started taking (41)B.Over a few months,the medicine did help the OCD,but I still was struggling with depression.
One autumn evening,I hit rock bottom.I thought suicide(自杀)was the only (42)D to my depression problem,so I decided to write a suicide note.As I was (43)C it,my eyes fell on a photo.It was a (44)A of an adorable little girl,wearing her red soccer uniform and holding a bike helmet.She had a bright smile that showed she was full of life.
It took me a few minutes to (45)B who the girl in the photo was.The photo had been taken when I was seven years old.I almost couldn't believe that smiling child was me.I felt a chill go down my spine(脊柱).It was like my younger self had sent me a (46)C.Right then and there I knew I couldn't kill myself.Once I had been a strong little girl,and I had to become (47)B like that again.
I tore up my suicide note and (48)C that I would not rely only on my medicine.I would have to fight the depression with my mind,too.I could make myself happy again.
It has been two years since I (49)D myself.The real reason I am healed is that I took action and refused to let depression (50)C my life.I learned a lifelong (51)A:Never give up.Everyone has challenges in life,but everyone can (52)D.I am living proof of that.
Now I am prepared for whatever (53)D life may bring.I have a role model to (54)B up to for strength,and who is guiding me (55)A life.My hero is a seven-year-old girl,smiling back at me from a photo on my desk.
