Feeling Misunderstood and Alone

It's hard for people to understand someone with mental health issues, especially in your age range. I'm 40 and I just barely feel like people started taking me seriously. Unfortunately people have to grow up and learn how to be a better person before they can start seeing the bigger picture. But don't worry, they're probably all peaking right now, and when you finally get to shine you'll leave them all in the dust! Trust me you don't want to peak early! Just keep being you and trying to be the best you and do what you love and try to surround yourself with people that do get you, or at least try to with as much knowledge as they have, and you will find your place in the world!
