Default Hi

Hello,
My names Jonathan (19 almost 20). So where do I begin.

I dropped out of school when I was 14 due to an illness no one could figure out. I became withdrawn from everyone only speaking to my members of my family. Being unwell and being unable to go out, have friends and just do normal teenage things I became depressed. I went through a phase of self-harming that I eventually got over (not without help mind you). I still do get depressed now but not as bad as then; I try and keep myself as upbeat as possible. Since my alienation from people my unease that i suffered with before i got ill has grown to the point where I have panic attacks when it ends up that I have to lead a conversation or join in. I can just about deal with small groups of three but anymore and I tend to lock up. I also suffer from agoraphobia brought on by being so ill for so long. A fear of being ill when away from my safe zone has contributed to my alienation.

I like to end with things I like.

-I do enjoy playing games (mostly online ones with a good social aspect as that basically became my replacement for a social life. Guild wars 2 being my current, awaiting the new Elder scrolls online one due either end of this year or start of next)

-I have the hopes of writing my own novel, I***8217;m not really good, I do have dyslexia which makes it very hard but I still enjoy it.

-I also enjoy reading, mostly sword and sorcery style books (Dragonlance, Lord of the rings, Warhammer novels and next on my list game of thrones.)

- I really really like tea***8230; I mean I drink a lot of the stuff.

- Music (ok this is a little vague***8230; I enjoy almost all types of music I***8217;m not picky but I perf either rock or melodies. I also enjoy atmospheric music from movies ect.)

And that***8217;s me***8230; hi ***61514;
