Bio

I am a recovering internet addict battling depression and severe anxiety. It's a part of me , but not all of me ( want to remind myself that whenever I read this😅) Thanks for coming around  

I want to make more friends , I don't have any , so if you are reading this , just know you can find a friend in me  if you need one too..I have been finding my footing after three years of internet addiction , so everything I was , it's going to take sometime to come back to life. For starters , I have picked upy hobbies to paint , read and write

But I can't be around someone , who's got a sober superior complex going on which likes to pity . I am happy that you are sober or that you didn't have to work for it and I am fine  with that. But at the moment  if you come with a superiority complex and pity  because of who you are , it would make things worse for me. I am at a bad place . And I try to work on myself everyday . Somedays it works , other days I spiral down and end up at square one . I can't help but hate myself for that during such days.
