Description

I am usually kept to myself majority of the time. I am quiet but friendly to new faces I meet and boisterous around my selected friends. I have an image disorder in which I obsess with my appearance and body parts to great lengths. I was diagnosed with Body Dysmorphic Disorder when I was 16 years old and have been to countless therapy sessions and psychologists to "help" with the problem. All my of major mental complications stem from my Depression Disorder.... I was double dosed with my parents blessing of depression diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder at the age of 18. I battle thoughts of Suicide and Self Harm on a daily basis and do my absolute best to make a negative outcome into a positive, although I slip up more than I can count I continue to wake up and force myself to go about my day as any other person would. 

I decided to post a self image of myself to show people who I am. I am NOT depression, nor am I Body Dysmorphia, or Suicide, or Self Harm, or Fat, or Sad. I am Lindsay, I am a 21 year old female battling with invisible diseases on a daily basis but hoping to put a smile on anothers face. I love to simply love, I am a child of god, a free spirit, an artist, a daughter, a sister, a friend...I do my best to be human and to give back to those who deserve it. I am me.

** This is my psychology project on invisible illnesses. Although many can see that I perfectly fine on the outside besides being overweight, I am dealing with much more on the inside. My brain shows a lack of chemicals that would normally allow me to function everyday, I am on heavy duty medications that alter my mood and leave me feeling lost and dazed. I wish this on NO ONE not even my enemies. For those of you who are living with an invisible disease please know that I am your number one fan when you feel like no one is around to hear you. Art, photography, and music have been my lifeline and has saved me from ending my life on multiple occasions. Please take a minute to tell someone you know who may be going through a hard time, dealing with depression, anxiety and other mental/health illnesses or even just going about their day, that you love them. A simple hug or reassurance from a stranger, friend, parent, sibling, or even pet can turn a bad moment into a happy one**
