Bio

tori/ or marie is my preferred name

I am a 17 year old girl whose been diagnosed with PTSD, MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) , anxiety and cannabis use disorder. 

I came across 7 cups and have connected with more people than my actual friends. I am not currently a listener but I do enjoy listening to other people's stories and giving them a safe place to share difficult topics without judgement. 

I am indigenous, first nations dene and proud of who I am.

I am currently writing a book of my life, and appreciate those who give me inspiration to keep writing, when it is published I hope I can help people with my words. After high school I am going to be studying to become a counsellor for my home community, I feel that if they have an indigenous person like them become a counsellor that anything is possible. 

I am so thankful for anyone who takes the time to read my bio and get to know me, I am always open to new friendships.

...See more so since i was 13 i struggled with sh until i was 15 years old. every little problem i was faced with i turned to hurting myself. i always wore long sleeves and pants even when it was hot day. i feel ashamed that i felt the need to do that to myself. i was faced with so many struggles and sh was my only escape. for anyone out there who is still hurting by this awful coping mechanism i want to say that i believe it will get better, and that dark days never last forever. never give up on this life because there can be great things that come from it. be patient and loving with yourself. be proud that u got out of bed today and i hope u continue down this path of self healing. i wish i can go back to my 13 year old self to give her a hug and let her know that better days are coming. be easy on yourself today, its okay not to feel okay.
dreaming of a place that doesn't exist

...See more sometimes when i fall into a deep sleep, i start to wonder off to a place that no longer exists, only in my mind. it is my old home with my biological parents. the dream starts off feeling so real, i can smell the cooking my mother was making, it smelled like breakfast, those kind of breakfasts you have on Sunday mornings. I walk around my house, and end up in my fathers room, he is painting like usual. I ask him what he is painting, and he tells me it is the landscape of one part of our community it was surrounded by stars and northern lights. Mom calls us for breakfast and we sit around our dinner table just the three of us. I start to wonder where my older sister was, but then I remember she is no longer living with us because she didn't want to face my parents. They used to hurt her a lot and favorited me, I felt extremely bad for her because she was only a teenager. Every so often I keep dreaming this same dream that I am with my family, but when I wake up I'm sad again.

...See more My name is Tori but you can call me Marie. Growing up I faced many challenges such as trauma from my parents. I grew a very sad little girl and I used to be confused on if I liked girls and if it was okay. I had a gf at age 14 for 1 year and 5 months. It was like love from a movie screen, we would stay up late and talk about our feelings and just lay with me. We broke up last year in May, she was my first real heartbreak. I don't live with my biological parents which had been hard on me for years. As I got older I started to cherish the few moments I had with them. I fell into a depression around when I was 13. I remember those nights I used to cry myself to sleep and wonder why I felt so sad. I used to believe it would never be better. Today as I am 17 I learned ways of coping, I am on medication to help. This year was my hardest year yet and I am thankful I still woke up to another day. I never want to take life for granted. I want to help as many people as I can with my story, so I am planning on writing a book of it. My social worker told me she can help me publish it. I got diagnosed with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) and anxiety. After I learned that I had those things, I started seeking help. I randomly came across this website and now I spend my days on here reading peoples stories and chatting with great people. I hope this life becomes easier on those who suffer with addictions, trauma and other problems they just can't seem to talk about. I pray that those who are worried, sad and angry to be nicer to themselves because they deserve kindness. Thanks for reading my post, I appreciate if people can comment their worries or problems, I am always here for those who need support <3
