For one, a quarter of my class is in therapy, and most of us that are use antidepressants.

As for me, I have trauma from stuff such as intense bullying from roughly 2nd grade to 8th grade, things said behind my back, attempting suicide last year, self harm the past four years, being made fun of for being a furry, being told the fact I am not religous makes me evil, being forced to seek approval from certain people with power, among many other things

This made it difficult to so much as branch out to talk with other people personally. It took until this year to finally talk to other friends personally, because I only told everything to my best friend who I had known for as far as I could remember had graduated last year.

Even now I only have three people who I actually tell stuff to. My partner, and two close friends.

I just feel like I am going to busy myself with too much again.

I distract myself most of my day, from listening to music on full blast in my right ear (I have hearing damage in that ear now), doing extracurriculars, doing work, etc.

Game Jolt is the only real escape I have, because none of my friends have time to spare, except for midnight walks, which we don't even do that often.

I only get happy when I go to Game Jolt because I know there are good people here, people who will defend me for being who I am, people who will listen to me, people who help me in my downs, and most importantly, people who will accept me for who I am.

Thank you to everyone for being here for me and eachother
