Hannah, 18, NSW

Hi im 18 and i have Aspeger, Bulimia and Anxiety. I am writing this because the other stories have helped me so much and i thought maybe my story might help some else. Im still going through this stuff but i am getting better.

Whne i started high school i was diagnosed with Aspeger and Anxiety. I would be constantly vomiting and freaking out about the smallest things that didn't really matter but they got stuck in my head and i couldn't get them out of it. year 8 was a tough year as i had guy trouble and also my first year of high school. The medication i was given at first kept putting me to sleep but they have changed it so that i dont fall asleep now. when i went into year 9 i started cutting my hands just because the stuff in my head was getting too much for me and i couldn't deal with it. i got afaid so i told my teacher who took me to the councilor. i went to see numerous psycologysts about my anxiety and Aspeger and found a support group where i lived. that got me through the rest of high school. Earlier on this year i was diagonosed with Bulimia. It turned out that the vomiting was self induced(meaning i made myself vomit) apparently it had been happening for about 2 years but i am very private and dont let people know what is going on in my life. My family moved from Qld to NSW and i started going to headspace. I am nowhere near better but i am getting there. I always felt so alone and it is hard most of the time to try and keep myself in check but im getting there.
