Goddessegold123 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hello board world. My names Mally and I'm an 18 year old female from Wisconsin. (Its cold, dont come here) I don't really feel like i belong here yet. Everyone says they've been dealing with their problems since they were 9 or 11 or 13. I was just diagnosed with ADHD and Panic disorder this year. I've been having anxiety problems since i was in 3rd grade but when all you have is your dad, he doesnt seem to notice. When i was in 3rd grade my mom needed a liver transplant. we didnt think shed make it but she did. we got lucky. from then on ive been stoic. my mom needed so much help functioning for about 2 years after her surgery that i had to be the mom. i couldnt let things affect me. i still cant. my dad taught me that crying is weak, being sad is weak, giving in is weak, talking about my feelings is weak. ive been self injuring since 8th grade. no one noticed till last year. i was a pro at stoic. now im here giving everything to everyone. i dont care if im weak anymore. i want to get better. so if you want to ask me anything, if you need support, a friend, im here. because i want someone to be here for me too. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emettman Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hello board world. My names Mally and I'm an 18 year old female from Wisconsin. (Its cold, dont come here) Hello and welcome. I flew the Atlantic especially to visit Wisconsin. It was great (admittedly about a month earlier in the year than this) The biggest collection of Roadside Americana of any US state. And "The House on the Rock" is the daddy of them all. Yes ,holding it together, coping and helping others is sometimes the right thing to do. But that can't be a "forever" or it will start to hurt and do damage.. You have to have a way to offload, and let other people help you too. Welcome to the sanest bunch of mad people on the planet. Or the maddest bunch of sane people. It's not always easy to tell. And I'm counting me in there too. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emperor Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Oh shit, I missed the part where you said you were from Wisconsin! I don't know how. Maybe you're not a football fan, but I am! GO PACK! Just had to throw that in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthelizardqueen Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 welcome. the bravest thing is to be honest about how you feel- there is nothing weak at all in that. honesty is the hardest thing in the world- good for you for opening up and not holding it all in anymore. getting better is so much more important than being what someone else deems 'strong'. hope being here helps you some. lizzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRCocuyo Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I was happy to read your introduction and thought... "Gosh... I'm glad she is here and she can be herself and open, and it's ok." Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Goddess, I grew up in WI too. The whole state is full of stoics, if you want my opinion. And my dad taught me pretty much the same lessons. I hope in being here you'll come to enjoy ignoring everything you were brought up with as much as I have. Welcome!
