venting :(

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
