Bio

I love, love, love to read and write. I also play a lot of Badminton and listen to music. I enjoy spending time with my family and making new friends, though I am rather shy and not very good at it. I suffer from depression, anxiety, and anorexia. I am here to make myself and my life better.

I can't deal with school anymore.

...See more Usually, during the school week, I go home to eat so that I don't have to eat a lot and people don't start asking questions. But on Mondays I have an extra course over lunch and I have to stay at school. I don't really have any friends at school, but there is this tiny group of people I usually eat lunch with. They constantly tell me to "just eat" and be happy and stop dragging them down. I don't mean to, of course, but I can't force myself to be happy all the time. Believe me, I try. I try really hard to be happy so that I am not always serious and making other people feel bad. I don't want to do that. But I can't smile anymore and I can't make myself eat more than a few bites of a sandwhich. I just can't deal with people making me feel bad for my problems anymore, making me feel bad for something I can't control. I don't know what to do. I am just losing my mind. On top of that, they are all so pretty and have nothing to worry about. I am just the ugly one that isn't good at anything and is a drag to everyone else because she won't be happy.

...See more Hello everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I am a new member and working on improving myself and my life. My name is Rory and I love to read and play Badminton. I have also started to play guitar, although I am not very good at it yet. I love to help people but am very shy and don't have many friends. I suffer from depression and anxiety and have gone through many things that haven't been that great (including self-harm, bullying, and anorexia). Despite this, I am trying to improve myself and make my life better. I am there for anyone that needs it. I would love to make some new friends and build a supportive community around me. I am really glad to be here and happy to meet you all. :)
