Hi, I’m 16. I’ve been struggling a lot lately. I went through traumatic experiences as a little girl—some involving men and some involving teachers. These things have deeply affected me, and now I’m dealing with anxiety every day.

I’ve been seeing a psychologist for about six months, but honestly, I don’t feel like it’s helping much. I still feel really lost and alone.

I just wanted to share this because I need to talk to someone. I want to connect, make friends, and feel like I’m not alone in this.

If you’ve ever felt this way too or just want to talk, I’d really appreciate it.
