First Step
For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to write a blog, I used to write small journals on books and stuffs like that, but I never adventured into something more serious. I recently made my portfolio website, and I was thinking of using it as a blog, but I think it would take out the seriousness of it, and besides that, my English is terrible. Yesterday I discovered Bear Blog, and I found it Beautiful, I always had a preference for minimalism, and finding a simple html, css website for blogging is all I ever wanted.
So I started this blog and I hope to write often in it as a way to practice my English and as a way of therapy for my Depression and Anxiety.
Let's Begin
I would like my first post to be about something recent that happened to me. I'm currently 24 years old and I have been diagnosed with a small level of autism. Since I was a child I always have problems to make friends and communicate with others, my birthdays were often something really stressful for me because my parents used to invite all the kids from the block to my house and the noise they make stressed me out a lot, I remember I used to cry when they sing me Happy Birthday too. School was also something stressful to me because I never really have friends and I used to suffer from bullying there. When I was 11 years old I tried to take my own life, and I started psychological therapy, where I was diagnosed with Severe Depression and Social Anxiety. Last year my depression got worst, and I have been taking a lot of anxiolytics since then. I attended a new Psychiatrist and she recommended that I take the ADOS-2 test. Since I was diagnosed with autism I think things have more sense now, and I have learned to accept certain aspects of myself. My depression is still there and my anxiety too, but I have confidence of getting better from now on.
