Hello! I’m your teenage psychologist! Of course since I’m only a high school student, I’m not a professional, but I’ve always loved helping others. And even if I don’t get any views, I think this will be good for me. So right now It’s around nine o’clock and, I had an idea to write a blog like this a couple hours ago. Now my parents are probably going to tell me to go to bed in thirty minutes!

I have been diagnosed with Aspergers, autism and I have anxiety. I also recognized myself that I have depression. It took me a while to realize it, but, I finally got there. Most people know me for ages and not even think of these things. I told my best friends that I have Aspergers, autism and anxiety a while ago. They told me that they wouldn’t thought it.

It took me lots of time before I was really honest about my feelings. I have always thought of others before me. I really didn’t care that I was living my life for others until a year ago.

I started seeing a psychologist a while ago, but then stopped. I started shaming my body, I tried doing things that weren’t great for me so I could lose weight. I hurt myself. I hated me. I was nothing. Everyone else was something beautiful. Whenever I felt happy, like something could actually go right in my life, it all went downhill. I didn’t believe in happiness anymore. I became suicidal. And the horrible part is… I couldn’t bare to tell my friends or family. Friends because they wouldn’t understand, wouldn’t care or would just think I was grabbing for attention. I couldn’t tell my family because I thought I would’ve let them down. They’ve been through so much for me. That was in primary school.

Over the summer holidays, going into year 7, it got worse. I had the realization that I was depressed. Then I finally caught the courage to tell my mum and dad. I wrote a five-page letter telling them everything. When they found out, they were so sorry they didn’t notice. Their reaction was really different from what I expected. Thinking back on it, I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t told them.

Now, I’m not going to fully delve into my situation just yet. That’ll be later on. I’m here to tell you about my stories and how I helped myself get through a huge time. I’ll also post things like recipes, quotes and anything I think is appropriate. Hopefully, this will help you too.
