My is Princess, I’m only 15 and I grew up with no father figure. I have a stepdad, but I don’t look up to him as a father, nor claim him as a step dad. I have anxiety, and I started smoking at the age of 13. At the age of 14, I started to look for my dad. He didn’t do any social media, so I started texting family members from my dad’s side that I’ve never met, and one of them had his number. I would cry every night because I didn’t know who and where my dad was. My mother told me that he didn’t want me, but when I talked to him for the first time, he said he never said that. I found out so much, and that he and I have so much in common. After that, I started talking to my dad every day and he helped me overcome my anxiety. For other people it’s very hard, and for me it was very hard because everywhere I went, I thought that the whole word would be talking about me. I had these little voices in my head that would just keep telling me stuff that wasn’t true. The moral of the story is if you have anxiety or depression, you should find someone you’re really close with and comfortable to talk about those types of things. It really helps get stuff off your chest. Believe me, talking about stuff with a heavy chest really works, and if you’re having the same problems you should try this.
