So inspirational that it almost made me cry. How could someone leave such a thread dead like this?

Minecraft is not medieval-themed!!! As a matter of fact, it doesn't have a set time. And when and WHY did putting reponses in the quote, especially long ones, become a trend in the Suggestions? It's rather inconvenient, mainly since the OP has to gather your quote up manually. Avatar made by Endergirl!
This was really nice of you to post your story. If you don't mind, I may post my own experience...
((Below the Spoiler, trigger warning for self-harm and suicide))
Hi. I'm Ninty. I'm 17 years old, a junior in high school, and I'm planning the next stage of my life. Unfortunately, for a while, I was planning my future as a "what if I make it this far?" and not as "when I make it this far". From about the age of 14 to rather recently, I was suffering from depression, self-harm tendencies, and suicidal thoughts. My emotions were at the low point around the time I turned 16. I had been playing Minecraft by this point, but I hadn't really gotten myself involved in any communities. On January 4, I joined the Oligarchy of Nirigore here on the forums. While I'm no longer a part of the clan, they were the first clan I was ever a part of, and they meant a great deal to me. While there's more at play to what saved my life, I do think Minecraft was a part of it. The thought that I could create something beautiful with such a simple little game was amazing to me. I've always loved being creative.
I'm not completely whole again yet, but I've been healing. My suicidal thoughts are all but gone, and I haven't harmed myself in almost three weeks. I'm getting there, slowly but surely.
