Wow, really good reading these


My name is Claudia and I live with my mom and sometimes her boyfriend stays here. I have an older sister and it’s strange how a few years ago I had good relationships with friends and a not so good one with my family, and now that’s the complete reverse. I still meet a friend for a walk or a chat but I’d consider my sister as probably being my best friend now.

I don’t drink or smoke, I like being healthy.

I’ve lived over half my life without my father, he died of cancer. I have memories of him and I think my life would have been very different had he lived. I feel I was too young for his death to register with me properly, I don’t recall crying that much, however when our family dog (well he became my dog in his final years) died I was totally heartbroken.

Continuing the sad theme, part of my life I’ve suffering from depression, that was a really tough time. I attempted suicide and fully expected to die, I used to cut myself, and I had weird reactions to drugs. I was in a pretty dark place.

I don’t think there was any turning point in my life, I was on meds for a short time and just things slowly started to change, my outlook on life brightened. My diet now includes foods that are meant to lift my mood, and I exercise regularly.

I’m passionate about writing and I love doing research.

I took a year out from education with my mom’s permission, kinda a gap year, mainly to write but secretly I think I wanted to start to feel happy inside again. And of course I found here. The year turned into two and so on, anyway now I hope to be starting a job later in the year, it’ll be my first one.

Not sure what else to put, I've a lot of flaws, I’m still mildly crazy but other than that I don’t think I’m that interesting.
