hi I'm Julia (TW self-harm)

A little bit about me, I'm the third of six kids. I would really like to talk about how I really feel and stuff without getting judged, I dont really talk about my feelings to my family or friends (not that I have many 😅) I think that I have depression but part of me is hating on that idea and trying to convince myself that I am just being dramatic. I dont feel safe to talk about my mental health state with my parents because my dad is kinda narcissistic, I dont know mabey I am just being dramatic.

TW: SH

But I also have been harming myslef for like half a year now.

Anyway other than that I love to make art and listen to music. I'm home schooled so I don't really have many friends outside of church.

Hiya @Hexgates welcome to the mix. I hear that you have been struggling a lot recently and that you feel unable to talk to your family about your feelings. I can reassure you that your not being dramatic at all because you are geninely struggling with your thoughts and feelings and there's nothing bad about feeling that way too. On here you can definitely reach out to lots of people with similar experiences and this place is a safe space for you to share your feelings

. I know it's easier said than done but the bravest thing anyone can do is ask for help when they are struggling. I totally get you on the feeling like I may have depression but not sure if I do. Those feelings can be super complicated and having depression itself is one big rollercoaster ride in my eyes (speaking from personal experience) and like it can vary and it wants us to feel a certain way . The brain kind of tends to trick us into thinking a certain way sometimes and can make us feel bad or a situation worse than it looks. However, your feelings are definitely valid on here

.

It sounds lovely that you make art and enjoy listening to music as well. I also love art and listening to music too in my spare time. I hope your doing ok at the moment

.

Sending hugs,
