I am a 22 year old college student in Texas. I just joined, but I have been lurking and reading a long time. While my life experience so far hasn't been particularly traumatic or turbulent, I have struggled with depression since at least junior high. I consider myself pretty personable and friendly, but I can sometimes ruin relationships with feelings of insecurity. I have good days and bad days, like anyone else I suppose, but my depression is a secret from everyone I know, including my family.
I know it can seem petty to be hung up on appearance to the point it ruins your life, but anyone else who feels this way knows what I am talking about. I struggle with wanting to be around people due to loneliness, and wanting to be alone. I look forward to when I can feel comfortable being alone, especially being single.
I started counseling last year and I felt like it was helping, but I moved and haven't gone since. I'm making this summer a time of improvement for myself so I'm getting back into going and working on talking my feelings out in a healthy, productive way.
I'm kind and caring, almost to a fault sometimes, but I'm always hear to listen if you ever feel like no one else is.
