@Alene, although I am currently not taking medicines, the best word to describe my relation to your experience is exactly the same. I have wasted more than a year since it started when I was 17. This period of time is the time I am studying in a college filled with pop kidz and all sorts of taters. Now 19, and currently working as an intern for another 2.5 months has made me a lot calmer than usual but for now.

You have to trust us, this does not end here, you will definitely get better if you dedicate patience for it. I honestly really, understand the frustration behind thinking that you're gonna wreck a precious year in your life.

Do not lose hope. You would eventually come to understand that your life will not be limited simply due to this illness, and that you have the capacity to be better than letting it define you.

We will be there for you. We do not know each other in real life, but we recognize each other by our traits.
