Introducing me!

[LaraW]

Hi everyone 🙂

My name is Lara, and I'm a 21 year old musician, filmmaker, performer, writer and yoga addict.

My teenage years were pretty rough, and i endured through bullying, grief and abuse at home. As a result, I'm now learning how to cope with stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD.

I'm hoping to make some new friends, have meaningful conversations, and learn some helpful tips to continue to recover from mental illness, and to stay healthy and well.

I look forward to interacting with you soon!

Hi startingnew, thanks so much. It's great to hear from somebody who can relate to the pain and suffering depression, anxiety and PTSD can cause. Yes, I'm currently seeing a counsellor. Look forward to chatting to you more! Stay strong friend 🙂

Hi Johnno. Thanks, it's great that people can share their stories here so openly and help one another. It's so difficult to overcome bullying and mental illness, it's a gradual process I've only just begun to recover from very recently but music is so important for the healing journey. Wishing you all the best, from Lara.
