| I'm so articulate in writing. Yet in speaking I'm so insecure. I talk slowly. I sometimes can't even answer questions. I sometimes just stay quiet. I sometimes say the wrong thing by accident. I struggle with conversations. I sometimes don't even know what to say in response. It baffled me because I... |

| I dislike this feeling. I can't change certain things. I just wish I had more of a desire to take care of my hygeine, go out, and just have conversations with people. Yet I try so hard and can't get it right. I don't dress in a "normal" way either. I like my clothes to fit loose. I prefer ... |

| Im always a bit uncomfortable. Vague aches and pains. Anxiety that makes me feel tingly. I can't multitask. I struggle to feel ok if I leave the house. I get ringing in my ears and feel really insecure. I've gotten many blood tests because of the aches. It's just a psychological thing I guess. I can... |

| I'm pretty sure that I dont need so much support. I think the reason for me not being independent is because people won't even let me try. I can't say that though. I think I need to just be myself. They're always worried about me making mistakes etc. I'm in my 20s. They don't want me to try to get a... |

| There's so many moods to listen to. Instrumental/Jazz/Classical are great to write to. I find they facilitate creative thinking. I pretty much listen to everything except for some metal. I do like some metal though. I love lyrics too. Some music makes me cry,laugh, smile, feel good etc. I find explo... |

| They're always talking about themselves. They only care about themselves it seems. They can never do wrong in their minds. It's getting a bit tiring. We jam to music together and they'll literally sing over music I'm playing with a different song. They can never engage in a conversation about my int... |

| I don't really know what the medications are supposed to do. I don't know what my baseline is. All I know is that it feels like a part of me that knows that is locked away. Sometimes I can't talk to my DR. I even told him I was doing really good when nobody else thought that. To me I was doing well.... |

My family is getting a bit worn out. I really want to stay home though. I just maybe need to practice my self control. Yet it hap... |

| My family seems to want to get space from me sometimes. They also don't talk to me about my diagnoses or anything. In fact theyve been looking into respite care without telling me. They are always doing things that involve me but keeping it a secret from me. They sometimes want to talk to my DR and ... |

He's the reason I dress a certain way sometimes, he makes me feel safe. I want him to feel safe. He stays hidden and is the reason I can... |

| I'm so annoyed with a friend I have. They're very self centered. They complain about very minor inconveniences. They self diagnose. They glamorize mental illness etc and use toxic positivity. Like "I'm depressed, but I can stay positive, have you tried that before?" Like ugh. I sometimes t... |

I've tried to work before and I can't learn things properly and I cried once. I try to make friends but people get a vibe from me or something. Even w... |
