I'm Liz, and I'm 17.
The reasons I'm here- I have major depressive disorder and GAD(generalized anxiety disorder). I also have frequent panic attacks, but not often enough to be diagnosed with a panic disorder. I've been suicidal most days(from just a fleeting thought to freaking out all day) for the past two years or so, the general depression started a bit before that. I also struggle with guilt and worthlessness. After being hospitalized for a suicide attempt, I got put on a bunch of meds. I'm on five drugs right now. Monday, my doctor started suggesting my suicidal ideation might be chronic, and after almost throwing myself in front of a car, I ended up here.
And I'm really sorry if I shouldn't be here... I don't work most places.
I'm new here and this is the first post I've done, so I thought I should start with that. But now onto the more fun stuff- I can be fun. I don't know if I'm really ready for a boyfriend, but I am looking for a friend. I can be hard to deal with, but here are a few things that sometimes make me happy.
-Doctor Who
-Sherlock
-music, both listening and playing(marimba, piano and most percussion)
-drawing, though I'm not very good
-dogs, and animals in general
I also like NCIS, Psych, Chuck and for some reason I love the new Disney movie Frozen. I'm considering getting a psychiatric service dog to be my friend. I'm 17, but I have a high school diploma and this is my first semester in college. And that's pretty much it... Ever since leaving high school, my friends have forgotten about me. And I'm afraid of my family, even though they've never tried to hurt me. I'm just lonely.
