    • About Me

      I'm a 26 year old married mom or one. I've struggled with self injury since I was 13. I have major recurrent depression, Generalized Anxiety, PMDD, and dependent personality. I have a huge fear of abandonment, I'm a highly sensitive person with a very low self esteem. I've been in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship for 8 years. Though it has gotten a lot better I fear that it will turn to that again! I want to improve my life. I want to feel better about myself. I want to be happy, not worry about everything and just be able to live from day to day. I live in South Carolina but was born and raised in Louisiana.
