Oh what an unbelievably difficult battle I've had with anxiety and depression.
But as well as having a difficult time, I have also had a really good time with getting the support I needed, which included medication, as well as having people in my life who were incredibly understanding...
So here's a story of something that happened back when I was in primary school. I laugh about it now, but at the time it was so frustrating that something like that could have happened over a pair of scissors.
So I used to have this compulsion of feeling things, rubbing them against my skin and...
So I've had selective mutism for several years now. For any of you who don't know what that is, it's where you only talk to certain people; in my case, those people were my mum and a few close friends I've made in recent years.
I used to talk, until bad things started happening in school that I...
A personal challenge I thought to write about.
This morning, I was nervous about going to get a tooth operation done at the hospital.
As I sat in a room waiting for the nurse to arrive, I saw someone being wheeled down the corridor outside who had been knocked out by the gas. I could've done...

So what the people at the hospital did was they would talk about my asperger's with my parents and then I later went into a room with a whole bunch of toys and art stuff and they watched as...
So a few years ago, in my first day of high school, my mum had told the form teacher about my asperger's and how I have trouble talking at school.
The form teacher later told the class that I have a disease that affects my voice box which means I can never talk.
I was pretty mad when I heard...
Being a guy who likes painting and drawing, I thought to share photos of that stuff on here. :)
For years I've often paced up and down during school lunch breaks. The thing that's funny is that I didn't know when I was pacing up and down. I would start daydreaming, and then my body went on autopilot, basically.
Another thing I find, when a good song comes on, is that I tend to hop up...
