@jesusredeemedme2425 I have lots of disabilities and other issues, but none that you have,  I cant imagine how hard it is for you 😥 gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤ I'm already your friend ❤❤

@jesusredeemedme2425   hii. sounds like you have a hard life but its inspiring to know that you don't seem to be put out by it. I don't have diagnosed tourrettes but when I was 15 a neck tick began and now I'm 17 and its mildly worsened over the years. when I'm cold (goes off during wintertime like crazy) or my anxiety is worse than it usually is or just randomly sometimes my neck will jerk to the right really fast. 

I also suffer from mild yearly depression and severe seasonal depression and high anxiety lol. so your not alone!!! while I cant say that I go through as much as you do on a daily basis, I can say that its remarkable your so open about it too. good for you!!!

hi kiara! my name’s abi. i don’t have a pseudonym like you do, although i feel like that would be really cool :))

i personally don’t know what it’s like to have ocd, tourette’s, or autism, but i can relate to having adhd(or add), depressive episodes, (mild) sensory issues, and grief.

i’m also a christian <3 and i think it’s cool that you added that into your introduction. i’m sure that God must be please with you :)

some advice i would give you is to do things that ground you when things get really hard. what helps me is texting friends about seemingly silly things. even if it’s completely unrelated, sometimes it helps just to talk to someone about anything really. it doesn’t help all of the time, but it can help you calm down and bring you out of a breakdown.

another thing is to go to God with what’s on your mind. we will always have to deal with painful things, but God’s presence gives us peace and joy despite the pain❤️ you can go to God by praying, reading the bible, or even just listening to some christian music. sometimes when i’m having a hard time finding the motivation, i turn on some christian music and just pray while showering. it might not work for everyone, but i hope that helps haha!

the most important strategy is to look forward to something in the near future. if you’re having a hard night, maybe think about tomorrow’s breakfast, or seeing someone or something that makes you feel happy. you could think about the birthday discounts you can get at stores and restaurants, or maybe even starting a new hobby or activity. it doesn’t have to be something necessarily important!

don’t forget to be kind to yourself! i can tell you are a lovely person with a big heart❤️

Howdy,

We've already talked on other posts, but i'll properly introduced myself.

My name is Paige; call me Geode, call me Paige, i'm not concerned as long as you don't call me anything insulting roflol.

I'm a self proclaimed Jesusfreak

I love reading, writing, playing video games, collecting rocks, hiking, cooking, listening to music, dancing, etc. I also dabble in video editing, candle making, and other crafty things.                             As long as I'm motivated anyway

The main issues that i've been dealing with are stress, burnout, and depression.                                It's a long story.....
