Hello
I'm new to TSR, I'm a student (private candidate, South African, doing IGCSEs and hopefully A levels too later this year) and I justed wanted to say hi. I've been officially diagnosed with ADD, OCD and Generalised Anxiety Disorder Comorbid Major Depression. I'm actually just saying this because this is a support group for mental health
It's not something I usually talk a lot about with people but I do believe people should talk more, to lessen the stigma. Doing things get harder when you struggle with these kind of things, but you can learn a lot about life / yourself on the way. I'm struggling a bit with school at the moment, due to anxiety and perfectionism mostly, even though I used to do quite well. I haven't recieved bad grades up to this point because examinations scare me and I have had some personal things to work through, but I am writing examinations this May and June and it is the scariest thing I have done. It's good when you learn to face your fears, but it doesn't always feel great. In fact, it feels pretty awful. But I have hope.
Anyway, that is my version of an extended "Hi" 🙂
