I knew something was wrong when I was about 6 years old. Not even kidding. When I was 6 I got held back in school, not for not being bright enough, but because they said I was not emotionally ready. I started counselling for food restriction and depression that same year, and was first introduced to the word anorexia. By 11 I was having psychosis and I finally got the nerve to talk to my mom about it. I knew something wasn't right in my gut.

I felt broken throughout all of my teen years which were riddled with mania, psychosis and depression. I think tho at some point I gradually stopped feeling broken and just felt different. I really don't feel broken anymore. I am different sure, I'm highly sensitive to surroundings, people, words, music, anything and everything under the sun. But it's ok, I think that's just how I am. I'm highly emotional and in tune with that part of me. Now that I have a better grasp on how to reign the emotions in and my responses it's not as damaging. I just think I'm a pretty delicate spirit
