hey! My name is Ashley and I'm 18 years old. I'm not sure how this app works yet or what I'm supposed to write but I do suffer from a lot of disorders. I've struggled with an eating disorder since age 13 and I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata at age 8. Due to that I experienced a lot of childhood trauma and it caused me to develop multiple personality disorders unfortunately. I'm not yet diagnosed with these personality disorders but I know I have them from my extreme, un-normal characteristics that are a part of the symptoms for all disorders. I also suffer from anxiety and depression time to time. Sometimes I manage to calm my anxiety but other times it flairs up to the point where I can't even eat at a restaurant with my family. Part of it is because I'm in eating disorder recovery so it's hard for me to see myself change and it causes me to feel as if I lost my identity. At times when it feels all the stress from my past life and times where I was bullied, I tend to have panic attacks like hyperventilating and last night I actually made myself dissociate if that makes sense to forget about my life since I was so hurt from all the memories. it was like all these sad emotions where coming to me and I was just crying. so I had to dissociate to forget about my life so I pretended to be two other people with happier lives in order to calm myself. IDK if that's a disorder of itself but I had to change my mental persona to calm down and stop crying and it helped. This is my story and I hope we can chat and help each other during difficult times.
