:D hello, let me first introduce myself, i'm flora and 31 years of age and live in the netherlands. i have no idea how it actually works here, but it can't hurt to give it a try.( i know how a forum works, but that one has a totally different subject)

i don't think i have to tell you how much of a struggle it was ...

I've been depressed for the past few weeks especially, and I began to realize that I was literally living each days as if it were my last, and then realized that I've behaved similarly. Almost if a voice in my head asks me "What if?"

He didn't hit me, but he would beat my ...

im losing it now because everyone seems to be ahead of me. I have been only a small achiever academically and i dont know why. In the past, i ...
