I spent my whole youth telling my mom that I felt strange and unlike myself for weeks at a time, and she told me it was nothing. I spent all of high school burying myself in work and committees and everything social. In my grade twelve year I had a problem with one girl, rebounded with another which turned out badly, all the while dealing with student government, AP courses, and extreme situations. And all of a sudden I just crashed. My whole life has changed, some ways are negative (lost my direction in life), and other great things (met a bunch of amazing people and learned a lot about myself). I don't like seeing others preparing to crash. Therapy isn't just for "crazies", it's for people who need someone to talk to who know how to answer and how to help.
