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. :)

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.
