Welcome to DS!

What brings you here? That's the only question I can think of right now but don't be afraid to tell us what's on your mind. We are here to help!

I dm you.

Ok

What are you up to today?

Just babysitting and playing Fortnite.

Do you take medication for your anxiety? I do. It helps.

Welcome to the site. I hope you are able to find some happiness among us and make some great friends along the way. You aren't alone. We gotcha

I hope babysitting went by fast! :D
Do you have any hobbies other than fortnite/video games?

No, I don't take medication, my parents don't believe I have anxiety. Thank you. And yes, I do have other hobbies, I ride dirtbike, I do arts and crafts, and a construction not really a hobby but ya lol

I'm sorry that your parents don't believe you. Are you still in school or college? I graduated in 1976, which was the bicentennial. That was pretty cool. Now I was very shy in high school but when I gained confidence, I joined the class reunion committee. It is fun! You know, there are lots of videos on YouTube about anxiety and depression that you could learn from. I am working with a therapist regarding my anxiety. Did you do anything fun this summer? I got to the beach 3 times and went to four concerts. 3 were just tribute bands but it was nice to get some fresh air. What kind of music do you listen to?

Im a freshman in highschool. I dod nothing this summer except go to the waterpark with my church. And I listen to all kinds of music like, rock, pop, country, rap, etc.

Hi again! Sorry, I didn't realize that you responded. You are so young. It sounds like you need to get involved in the clubs in school so you can have more experiences. Or if not clubs, maybe sports. Do you have any brothers or sisters? I have 3 brothers. I am the oldest. Write back with your thoughts.

I didn't do anything this summer either. I was going to go on a trip alone, but I didn't want to go alone. Waterpark seems like fun!
When I was younger (45 now) we used to go bike riding a lot...roller skating was a thing too! :)
Do you play any instruments or do you like to sketch or draw?
Moving, running, walking helps with anxiety. You can even set up a scavenger hunt for yourself as you go for walks...for example, look for heart shapes. I don't know if this is a thing where you live, but some people paint nice messages or cute art on rocks and leave them at parks.

Umm... Yes, I have 4 siblings and im home schooled.

I roller blade... No, i dont draw I build tiny things instead. And I never leave my house unless im going to church

What sort of tiny things do you build? Is it a miniature town?
