I want to start off by saying that I have not been diagnosed with AvPD, but that it only seems like I have it.

For those of us that have people we communicate to in what one could call friendship or deeper relationships. Do those people have friends?

I have been struggling with a way to define a recent situation between me and my bf. For starters i was raped once when i was 12 years old by a 14 yr old boy.

Im only 16 now, but when I was about 4 my neighbour made me do things to him. I only remember it happening twice, once in my basement, the other time in my backyard.

I hate everything about myself. The way I look... I can't even look in a mirror without feeling so gross and just like I want to throw up. I literally get disgusted. My school, the kids at my school are such ignorant little jerks. For example, on the bus ride home the other day, some of the 10th graders yelled, "hey fattie, you're so nasty, go loose 100 pounds then maybe you'll get a date" ...

A suicidal girl
Only 15 years old
Depression taking over her body
The feeling of despair running through her veins
and she knows of no way to desist
