About Me
Um. Well, I'm 18 years old. I'll be 19 in June. I have red/auburn hair and brown eyes...umm...I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't usually swear. I suffer from anxiety disorder, ADD, depression, and apparently tooth grinding. I'm very naive and soft-spoken for my age. I haven't been able to tell anyone any of my feelings, or talk about my 'mental health' issues... I'm too embarrassed. I'm hoping this website will help me a bit. I'm kind of scared to talk about myself.

Anyway, so why did you join the site if you don't mind me asking?
