    Hi guys! :slight_smile:

    I just wanted to introduce myself :slight_smile:

    I'm 18 and bisexual/demisexual, still in the closet. I don't plan on coming out until I get a boyfriend or girlfriend. I just don't feel that it's necessary yet though I tend to be annoyed when someones calls me straight - but right now I'm too lazy to bother and explain myself :wink:

    I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my life and to be honest, I'm struggling quite a bit with this and had to deal with depression and severe panic attacks for the last two years. I was on antidepressants and anxiety medication but I don't have to take them anymore (since September) and I'm fine so far :slight_smile:
    I also had an eating disorder from the age of 8-16 including severe anorexia from 13-16. Concerning my eating I'm fine so far, too, though I still have a therapist.

    I found the atmosphere here to be incredibly nice and l love to read all the different opinions you guys have to offer here, so I decided to join you :slight_smile:

    You're one tough chick!

    I totally relate to the depression and panic attacks. I have been overcoming some random ones recently after having not had them for awhile. Well we're here for you girl! Welcome to the pack!

    Thanks for the warm welcome! :slight_smile:

    Thanks :lol:
    I'm so sorry - panic attacks are hell. Mine were so bad they made me throw up because I was so scared and it all ended in a nervous breakdown, when I had 2-3 every day, each of them lasting up to 3 hours :/ I hope you'll be better soon (*hug*)
    And again, thank you so much! :slight_smile:

    Thank you guys! :slight_smile: You're so nice! :slight_smile:

    It's perfectly ok to ask, I don't mind :slight_smile:
    First it was an eating disorder not otherwise specified, which started when I was 8 and it was basically a rather weird way of eating, restricting certain things, some days starving myself and other days stuffing myself with everything I could find. I was always on some sort of diet. When I was 13 it turned into anorexia and I stopped eating, thinking I was fat and needed to lose weight even though I was already slightly underweight. The starving really messed up my body and stopped puberty and growing for two years. At some point I was set on starving myself to death. I'm quite lucky that everything is fine now :slight_smile:
