Hello everyone! The names Alex and I'm new to this forum.
I suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and an eating disorder.... I am pretty much a recipe for disaster!
My problems are a result of the abuse I went through growing up. I had a mother who was addicted to heroin and was working on the streets to feed her drug habit. But then decided that she got bored of selling herself for sex and sold me instead. I have been sexually abused by three men as a result, from ages 8-15. I lived with one of the abusers for three 3 years and I never left the flat, I was just kept there for his sexual pleasure.
Wont go into more detail, but as a result I have really bad depression amongst other things.
I am here looking for online friendships, hopefully I can get some support and offer the same back :)

I am sorry you had to endure all that growing up. Are you in a better environment now?
