Feeling completely alone in the modern world is very scary. When I felt isolated from society I had high anxiety and a fear of leaving the house by myself. Destructive thoughts started to enter my mind and I thought myself to be worthless.
I became isolated due to the bullying I suffered at school. My mind and body wanted to find safety, so I started to isolate myself in order to escape the bullying. However, that did not work and just made me more alone and an easier target for bullies.
Whilst I was revising for my exams I thought myself to be worthless. I made no close friends at school. My only friends during my teenage years were my family and my friend I made when I was really young. My friend has ADHD and I have Aspergers, but we get along well and both were, and still are, obsessed with pokemon and nerdy books and films.
Since school I have been to Uni and completed the Prince's Trust Team Programme. Both have made me a stronger and wiser person. On the Prince's Trust course I made two really good friends and I now feel less isolated. It has been a struggle but there is a way out of isolation.
Hope everyone has a good Christmas :)
