3 Different Battles *Trigger Warning*

Hello. I’m a 16 year old girl, almost 17. I’m going to be a senior this year. In this past year I’ve dealt with missing my homecoming dance due to my own suicide attempt, leaving public school because of my severe social anxiety and giving my ADD credit for my sense of humor. I’ve been so unbelievably lost. Scared. Numb. I’ve never felt more pain and sadness in my life than these past few months. I was supposed to go to the homecoming dance put on by my school with my friends. Instead I spent my weekend in the hospital looking for inpatient treatment options for me. We found none. Fast forward a few months and I’m signing documents to allow me to leave public school because I threw up every time I walked through the front doors. Multiple scars, crying sessions and hours of sleep later, I find out I also have ADD. This made me realize my entire bubbly, obnoxious personality had been because of a mental disorder all a long and I didn’t know what to do next. I’m still struggling to this day, but I hope people out there understand that everyone has their own unique story. All of your stories are valid and matter. I love you all.
