Hi, I am hydrangea

Hello everyone  :3

I will be 19 years old next week on the 15th. A few days after that, I will be moving away from home for the first time to begin my first year as a university student.

I have struggled with anxiety and depression for many years. As well as this, I am waiting to be tested for autism spectrum disorder and I am starting to think that I may also have BDD (Body dysmorphic disorder). I silently struggle a lot of the time and I have a lot of emotions about things - but I'm not sure if I'm ready to talk about that quite yet.

Other than that, my interests include Japan (that's the course I'll be on at university - Japanese Studies!), nature, animals, cooking, music, art, animation, Pokemon, and the game Animal Crossing.

Nice to meet you all, I hope I can become a good member of this community :)

    Hi Hydrangea, 
    Welcome to the mix and it's great to have you here ❤  Im also slightly autistic so there are a few things which I get which could also be similar to whatever symptoms you're having. I also understand how hard it is to silently struggle and I hope that we can increase your confidence to open up xxx
