I was a cheerleader straight A student had tons of friends and loved doing school work and being part of school but around the age of 16-17 that all changed dramatically and I am now 28 I'm a total loner and play video games I work 2 days a week BUT I have an amazing supportive boyfriend who drags me out here and there and respects when I'm feeling anti social and let's me stay home. Yes my life did turn around the opposite way but I'm just as happy and I read and teach myself as much as I would learn in school so it is all what you can make of it I know it's scary and a bit shocking to feel the changes at first but honestly you get used to living with it or you get meds.
