About Me
My anxiety began when I was 12 when I started middle school. I had prior anxiety symptoms but middle school was where it really kicked in. For the rest of my middle school days I kept my emotions hidden from my parents. I became a master at it. Then when I started high school, I became depressed. The anxiety and the depression fed each other at my expense. I began cutting and self-harming. After a couple of months, I tried to commit suicide. By this point I had confessed to my parents what I was going through. I started therapy and antidepressants. I was on them for the majority of high school and then I went off if them for about a year because I felt like I was healthy enough. When I turned 19 I had another big meltdown and I was put on antidepressants again. Now I am in community college trying to figure out what steps to take next. My family is my anchor. They are my reason for continuing to move forward.
