I wasn't twisted as a kid but I was kinda ****ed up. My mom suffered from depression so she stayed upstairs 90% of the Time. My dad was a brittle diabetic and was in the hospital oft n. I was super shy and anxious and didn't fit in well at school. All this gave me a huge desire for attention. I did anything I could think of to get attention. Most of it centered around medical stuff. I spent a lot of time trying to hurt myself, specifically break a bone. I would jump out of my tree, do dangerous jumps on my rollerblades, I even tried to let the heavy garage door fall on my arm to break it. Thankfully I never did break a bone. I used to wish for cancer or appendicitis or anything that would get me put in the hospital. I also suffered from extreme anxiety. I was terrified of bridges because I thought the bridge would collapse. I was also terrified of thunderstorms after we read a story about tornadoes in class. After my dad died the anxiety was crippling. I was terrified for my mom to late and had a hard time going to school. I hardly had any friends and got bullied a lot because I dressed in dirty clothes and didn't shower often.

In seventh grade out of nowhere I got really confident and all that stuff went away. Then depression hit when I was I. Eighth grade and everything was hell for the rest of my adolescence.
