Dear anita,

I, for now, have depression and general anxiety disorder. I’ve struggled with this since I was 7 but it’s started to affect my life as I’m growing older.

I’m 18 this year and I’m in my final year in Pre-University. I’m living at home with my parents and younger sister. A lot is going on between the parents too but that can be for another day.

Anyway, I plan on simply heading to university after my final year here and move in with my boyfriend on-campus at the residential blocks. We are planning to head for the same university by the way. I want to be a better person so that I can improve my relationship with everyone around me. I feel like as of late I’ve been awful to everyone; more than usual. So with all my long-term plans ahead, it’s the reason why I’m desperately wanting to change myself for the better.

I hope you are doing fine anita. You should take a break too 🙂
