hello! my name is chloe but I don’t really like it so you can call me lolo for now, or you could call me yukako if you want to as i kin yukako from jojo’s bizarre adventure! that’d make me really happy hehe. i’m 17 and i have autism, anxiety and ocd. i also think i have dyspraxia and bipolar and i’m waiting to be diagnosed. i study chemistry, history and spanish at a level. i love anime and i am an artist and want to be an archaeologist when i’m older. i also want to be an activist for disabled and mentally ill people because i feel like they’re stigmatised too much and i want to help them. i used to use another app but i got into some drama that affected my mental health so i decided to look for a different place where i can chat to people and get help - and i’ve finally found it!! i’m struggling with all aspects of life in lockdown so would appreciate it if i could make some friends here :) thank you for reading and i hope i’m accepted here!!
