Hey, everyone! My name is Sarah Pollitt, but I am also known as WolfeCake on YouTube (well, to 71 people on YT and 44 people on Twitch, I am known as WolfeCake!). You can call me Wolfy or Sarah. I don't mind!! Now, I'm going to be doing a 24 hour charity livestream on Twitch.tv, which will be from midnight to midnight! As of right now (18/10/2014), I haven't decided on what games to play yet. Suggestions are welcome!!

  So the reason I'm doing this is because I am a sufferer of severe depression and have been for a large part of my teenage years, which has driven me to the point where I have actually attempted to take my own life a few times. I have been to the lowest point I could possibly be and I have been to the point where I'd actually stayed up at night fearful and whimpering that I won't control my actions and subsequently take my own life. I still have depression and I do still have my low points, however I am slowly recovering from it, in the best way one can do so, and I am getting happier with my life. With friends, family, hobbies, studies etc. So throughout my low points, I have often gotten the typical lines from people

- "It's just a phase"

- "You're just sad right now"

- "Get over it!" 

You've probably heard the usual script over and over again, and it's sad because depression is a disease that can kill. 

If you would like to understand the science of depression, ASAPScience on YouTube created a really good video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOK1tKFFIQI

The reason why it's in December is because of the large amount of university papers I have to write and books I have to read, so I wouldn't be able to commit to a 24 hour livestream
