Hello there. (: Well, since I'm new to blogging, I'm not really sure what to post first. I've been debating and contemplating for the past 2 days, and I guess a good way to start is by telling you who I am and what I plan to blog about.
I'm Brittany or Brit. I'm 18, and I graduated high school last year. I'm taking a year off from school before I start studying psychology. I love the idea of helping people so they don't go through the things I've gone through, or if it isn't optional, that they don't feel alone. I want to start my own practice someday and at some point I would love to do it for free because I know that I can't afford to see a therapist, and a lot of other people who need it can't either, or they have parents who would never take them to get help. Please excuse my tendency to ramble.
I'm really terrible at the whole "about me thing", so I'm going to just pick topics for a few paragraphs. Things I like, dislike, have gone through as mention above. And then you'll probably just get a girl rambling, so I'm sorry, but this blog is going to be like a diary for me, so I'll be documenting my life for you all to see. If you don't like it, well, you don't have to read my blog.
Likes- Hedgehogs, Purple, Cats, Lizards, Cooking, Psychology, Lions, Armadillos, Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, Babysitting kids so their parents can have a much needed night out, Traveling, Autumn, Hugs, Blankets, Tumblr, Making friends, Weddings, DIY stuff, Shoes, Mountain Dew, Iced Coffee, Tea, Reading, Learning, Orchids, Singing. I'm gonna stop this list here. Otherwise I might never stop. xD
Loves- God, Ryan James, Family, Friends, Music.
Dislikes- Awkward situations, My terrible dancing, Violent video games (I just don't see the point), Ignorant people, Arrogant people, When people are hurting, My opinion of myself most of the time, Men who hit women, Depression, Anxiety, Eating disorders.
Things I've gone through- I've been dealing with depression since I was 12, I used to self harm, and I attempted suicide three times, but I don't feel the need to hurt myself anymore, and the only one I can thank for that is God. I struggle with anxiety, it feels terrible to not know if you can get through a day without panic attacks. I used to be anorexic, and I still struggle to eat, I never thought I was fat, because well, I never was, I just never wanted to eat unless I was going to pass out or someone questioned me. Thankfully, now that people know that, they remind me to eat, and I don't always listen but I don't feel alone in my fight. I was addicted to pain killers because I damaged my body pretty bad when I was in marching band (I played sousaphone, which is a marching tuba) I have a very high tolerance for medication which is terrible because I weigh all of 110lbs. My parents split up about 2 years ago, and now my dad is somewhere in Texas driving a truck over-the-road. Well, that's the stuff I can think of that's affected me the most, the things I want to help people through most because I know how tough it can be.
Well, I don't know what else to write, I'll post some stuff like my bucket list and a post about my loving boyfriend Ryan soon, but here's a start.
Oh, and this is me.
