...See more Hello :) This is the introduction chapter of my journal so I should introduce myself. My name is Up and I try to heal my inner child for years. What are key points for me? * My mom went for work abroads when I was 18 months. Stayed with her abusive mother until i was 3. * We lived with abusive father for 20 years. He was very controlling and agressive since my brother was born. * My father told me that I could have withstand basically a rape so he could have lower price for the hunting license. I was about 15 that time. He stayed befriended with that rapist. * I was a parent for my little brother since I was 15. The protector, nurse, big sister and caregiver all at once. And also a therapist for my mom Not to mention that I was always bullied at school and in the dance class. Now I think these aren't that important, I knew how to deal with it. I didn't know how to deal with denial and abuse from my family. I think I started to struggle at 13. Now I'm 20, diagnosed with PTSD, depression, anxiety disorder and paranoia. My biggest issue? I can't decide if it's depression or my fear of being killed by mercenary. But I am not only my diagnoses 😊 I am an animal mom. It started with a snake, then proceeded with four leopard geckos a hamster and the latest addition to our family is a puppy. All of them are rescues.

...See more Hey! Fall is already here as well as the chilly weather. For me it means decreasing sport activity. What activities do you do this time to keep you fit? Share your tips! I don't really exercise outside because of the cold air, but I go for a walk often and play volleyball in the school gym nearly every afternoon.

...See more Hi! I want to introduce my story short - I was bullied for 9 years at my primary school, my mother is literally bullied by my father. I used to selfharm, I fell into depression and anxiety, of course. My only friend (we knew each other for 8 or 9 years) left me alone because of her boyfriend. Sad. I felt really bad for several years and I totaly blocked the feeling of love. Now, I have a boyfriend. We were really close friends, he used to help me with selfharming and he catched me everytime I fell, basically. And yes, I can say that I love him in some way. But on the other side, I feel anxious and frozen, when it comes to sweet moments like huging, kissing... Yeah and you know... The general quotes doesn't really matter here because I don't fit in a box labeled "normal people". I'm just stuck because I feel really happy with him and I can feel some love, but on the other hand... It causes me anxiety to be close to someone. Because what if this or what if that...? I think that you know that quiet voice in your head. Have a nice day, Mel
