    • About Me

      I'm currently moved back home and now I'm studying illustration and design I believe I have a friendly and approachable personality and somewhat wacky at times.

    • Close Wilm's Tumor

      I got Wilm's Tumor when I was five on my left Kidney. As a result my left Kidney was removed. I was extremely ill for a long time but eventually recovered. I was officially cleared when I turned 16. I am here for support and to prove that having cancer is not always a death sentence.

      Treatments

      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      The treatment was harsh and made me so sick. Even though it was 15 years ago I still remember the needles and the chemo.I remember the shock of losing all my hair and having to wear a wig. I also the remember the pain of the chemo as well.
    • Close Obesity

      I used to be so skinny as a child. I was born two months premature and then when I was 5 I became ill with cancer. Because of this I was seriously underweight (I weighed only 9kg when I was 5-7 yrs when they should be about 15-20). But as years went by I suffered physical, emotional and sexual abuse. This got added by depression and I put on alot of weight. Especially when I first moved out and put on over 30 kgs... at my heaviest I weighed 120kgs at the start of the year...

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      ive decided to cut out half of my portions and junk food
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      been doing daily walks, started taekwondo
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I think my depression started when I was 13 years. It started because I was suffering mental, physical and sexual abuse for many years. It started by me just crying for no reason and not knowing why. To then a few years later in highschool where I started having repeated break downs and starting cutting myself. I hated myself so much and I couldnt stand the pain, the hurt and the betrayal I went through when I was just a kid. However I eventually did get help and now I want to support others.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      It helped so much because it was someone I can confide to who was sympathetic and was able to tell me I was feeling what I was.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing is something that I loved. I have so many journals filled with entries, poems and songs I wrote. It scares me sometimes of what I used to write. But it only strengthens me to never go back to that darkness again.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      It was somewhat helpful to get me focused. But it did make me extremely anxious and sick. It also gave me extreme loss of apetite at times. At one point I didnt eat for 3 days because I felt so sick
    • Open Anxiety

      Been suffering anxiety since about 2 months ago when i got assaulted... i dont like being around groups of people or being in social situations anymore...

    • Open Self-Injury
