i've just turned 13. it's not really a big deal in my family, because it's just 13. we're not religious, so there isn't a whole celebration either. but there's been a lot of anxiety in my mind. i suffer from anxiety. i've had it since i was 10. but now i feel like there is all this pressure. i feel like i have to meet some sort of social standard to fit in, even with my friends. i never feel like i can be myself. there's 2 different people inside of me. there's the outgoing, happy, upbeat girl and the sad, lonely, stressed girl. and i just never know what might happen when one collides with the other. i don't want to harm myself, but i don't know what to do with these 2 people that haunt me.

I’m so sorry you are feeling this way. Society always expects the most from you when they don’t understand what is going on within the persons life. You have people controlling who you are and you don’t want that. Just remember that you are your own person. You are strong, and I am so proud of you for pulling through this far. Anxiety is such a tough thing to deal with. Once again I am so proud of you and hope that you can continue fighting your way to the top. You matter.
