hii im 16 and was diagnosed with anxiety disorder when i was 15. i just turned 16 in august. it all started during puberty.. at 14. i cant leave the house to go anywhere when i have my period, & i have periods worst then other girls. it lasts for 9 days and sometimes more. they said it might be 'hormonal' and might want me to go to a gynecologists. but im scared lol . i also have a social anxiety ever since i moved. idk why. i used to have tons of friends and now here i have exactly 3. sad i know =[ my moms sad cuz she feels like im missing out on my teen yrs and i feel it too . i also do feel very depressed and have cut myself for about a yr now. and idc what happens to me. and no im not a goth or emo kid either. im actually a preppy kid lol. i like to drink and yes i drink alcohol. my brother is bipolar and hes 17 now and he was 15 when we started seeing signs (puberty). bipolar runs in my dads family. so i think that has had an effect on me because i have been threw A LOT! i mean he does drugs , hes been to the hospital for trying to commit suicide. my dad and him don't get along at all. so whenever there in the house together i have anxiety which isn't good for me.. also now hes in placement because he was arrested and violated probation and now is in placement for a yr =[[[[[ so its hard! i hate when people have said i wanna die because my bf / gf broke up with me. LIKE SHUT UP! that's nothing. ya bee sad. but there's worst things. when you have anxiety and is afraid 24/7 of the day have a brother who is bipolar coming home high every night and fights with his dad (physically) and there's fighting and yelling until everyone's asleep , then come talk to me. THANKS!
