I'd like to introduce myself

Hello everyone,
My name is Lara, 18, and I'm from Holland. Stumbled upon this website when I was googling personal stories about mental health. I've struggled for some time with feelings like What's the point of it all, and despite having never found the answer I feel like I can deal with life now, after a lots therapy and some important decisions. One of these was that the day I turned 18 I left home, leaving my way too religious parents and sisters behind. Living in the countryside now, in a small cottage on farm land, on cycling distance from Utrecht city centre, where I will be attending university from September onwards. Reading psychology of course ;)
I'm very curious about this site and hope to chat with people from all over the world. I know what it's like to have a bad time, so if I can help you in any way, even if it's just by hearing you out, I'll he happy to lend an ear. :)

Hi.

Welcome.

My advice: tip toe. Consider who your fans are. You're about to have many.

Welcome Lara, I’m sure you’ll find many like minded people here. Mental health is an ongoing struggle that never seems to end though it can get easier, it’s nice to hear you’re using your experience to help others :)

That sounds really great and like you're starting the journey towards finding yourself. What are you interested in doing with psychology?.

@Mordechai Don't know yet, it's psychology that interests me, other than that there's plenty of time figure out what to do with it :)

This place can both be good and also destructive. Be careful what you say, what your hear.

With a gorgeous profile photo, you will likely attract many of the "wrong kind."

I deal with depression and anxiety and schizophrenia, so it's nice to hear a positive story. I'm glad you are living your life.
Lara2007 · 18-21, F
@Alyosha Thanks. I'm sorry you've been dealt such a bad hand, we can chat anytime.

There are questions that its impossible to get an answer to. Life becomes easier when one stops interrogating the stork.
Welcome Lara! Congrats on starting your university psychology journey! How’s your summer going?
Wizardry · 46-50, M
Have days like that. Especially when someone famous passes on.
RockVolleyGirl · 18-21, F
You and I have some things in common, Lara.
