Hey guys, I'm Charissa.
I'm an unemployed senior student from Canada with far too much time on her hands :thumbup:
I'm going to tell you some things about myself and try to explain why I'm here
I like to think of myself as open-minded and free-thinking. Although, I struggle with ADHD, PTSD (as a result of a physical, emotional and mentally abusive relationship), Major Depressive Disorder and Social Phobia. Although these disorders don't define me, they definitely play a role in who I am and reasoning behind my actions. I have been feeling somewhat better with therapy and prescribed medication and coping skills - however I still struggle everyday. Also, a psychiatrist can't cure loneliness.
My social phobia is mostly caused by past relationships. Both romantic and platonic. At one point in my life - I did have many "close" friends and was in a serious long-term relationship.
Collectively over the past year everyone seemed to show their true colours. The abuse in my relationship was getting dangerous, I got out. As well as my group of friends finally disclosing their distaste for me after years of what I thought was friendship when it was really pity.
So now I'm here. Useless, down on my luck, lonely with boredom looming everyday.
The funny thing is I LOVE FRIENDSHIP. I love talking to people. It's a matter of me thinking everything I say is stupid or nobody wants to here from me. It's really a matter of my crushed self-esteem. I am petrified of making the first move socially and I will do anything to get out of approaching people. I am in constant need of positive re-enforcement, attention and re-assurance.
Besides my short-cummings. I do have interests that keep me occupied most of the time. I am a very creative person. I express myself through, drawing and literature.
I love the outdoors, canoeing, camping, hiking, kayaking and casual outdoor sports. I also love to read, go on tumblr and do yoga
If anyone ever needs anyone to talk to, I'm happy to keep some company and help you out !
Have a nice day!
