I thought it would be a good idea to tell my story about my journey of anxiety (recovery sort of). It just occurred to me I’ve never written about it except in pieces. I’ve never made a complete account of my struggles with anxiety and I think it would help me to do so. So…

I’m in the 6th grade and I’m already suicidal and I cut. Sometimes I cut during class. I haven’t got caught yet but I can feel it coming soon. I’m pretty sure I have anxiety, depression, and ADHD but I’m too scared to ask my dad about it. My mom just passed away from brain…

Well I would first like to start off by saying I am a teen. I do understand that hormones can make you all wacky. But I’m beyond hormones at this point honestly. I whole heartedly believe there is something wrong with me. I’m fifteen and since about the age of 6 or 7 I have…

Last year, I recovered from an eating disorder. It was not severe enough to be called anorexia, but I had a warped body image and purposefully ate less so that I would lose weight. I was underweight, but through my parents’ help, I gained enough weight so that I was average weight. Now, I no…

It happened about 2 years ago, when I got cancer for the first time. At first I never felt what it like to have such a sad feeling like what other cancer patients feel. I feel relax. Then, I healed after a few treatments. But, a year past by and I got the second return…

I got a second return cancer and it is out of my head. I don’t want to tell my family because they will get sad. So I just keep it to myself.

One day at school, I was in my class. My friend was doing something with a plastic ruler. The ruler was on a table, which surface is rough plastic, and he was holding the ruler on one end and dragging it around the table so it spins. It made a sound very disturbing up to…

I went for a walk on Christmas day. It was unusual in that there were many families about in the evening – something you don’t usually see after dark in a suburb dominated by cars. I saw kids playing basketball, cycling, walking the dog. But the weather turned out to be vicious. I suddenly began…

People don’t cry because they’re weak. They cry because they’ve been strong too long. I’m okay. I am o.k. Maybe I am crying and that’s okay also. Maybe you don’t see me crying, then I will praise myself for holding it in. Holding it in mightn’t the solution though. And here we reach another crossroads,…

The age of 15 I started my first period (which lasted 5-7 days). The next month nothing, the month after that nothing. I didn’t think anything of it because my aunt didn’t start her period until she was 22; therefore I thought maybe it was something that just ran in the family. I got married…

I am Caroline, I live in panama, though I was born in the United States. I am esquisofrenic effective (schizophrenic) and it is hard for me to get along with others, because I am misunderstood. I am friendly. I try. I want to be a scientist or a geek but my sickness makes it harder…

Introduction to dyspraxia Have you ever wondered what happens inside me when I fall over? You have even possibly wondered why it happens. Or you may have even wondered why I do it so often. I will now tell you why. It all comes to one thing, that thing goes by the name of dyspraxia….

My life is a book with many chapters. I want to share one of them with you today, one that I’ve been able to almost close – Anorexia. It started when I joined the dance school for classical dances in my town. In the beginning it was all fun and stuff but I’ve realised that…

My name is Meryem, but most of my friends call me Mery. I’m a 18 year-old girl, a University student, and the best is I am a stammerer. Maybe you may think that I’m odd, thinking of “ if having a stammer is a best thing to happen in someone’s life”. Honestly, it is. For…

A story of hope, love and strength. With a bustling life filled with a great career, beautiful friends and family, being a social butterfly, lovely home in the city and counting down the days until my trip of a life time 5 weeks travelling the world. Nervous and excited, 32 years old, look out world…

In peoples eyes, im just a 13 year old girl. But my eyes see something else. I’ve never had a terrible life, but its messed up in its ways. At age 10, I was bullied for being too fat. It hit me in 6th grade that I needed to lose weight. So, I went online…

Today was a day I never thought would happen. I nearly lost my life as this is how it happened. This afternoon while I was driving with a friend, we were driving along a local road and as we were about to go further up, a student driver and instructor and we almost had a…

My flight home was nearly over. I hadn’t been home in 6 weeks, and was looking forward to seeing my family and friends on the one Saturday I had off before flying out again the next day. I work nationally around Australia for a compliance and testing company. We travel pretty much non stop. I…

Today is an important day for me. It marks three months without a pill that controlled my life for a year and a half. A pill that I needed to get out of bed each day. A pill that started off as an escape from pain and then turned into a mental pain I couldn’t…

I have recently been diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure and am currently undergoing Hemodialysis treatment. I am 30, live in London and am visually impaired, so as you can imagine, there are more than a few tales to tell. I have written a blog, which I hope will be of interest (or help) to people…
