Journal entries from those teeny years to my now young adult self. Nonbinary and in a functionally dysfunctional family. I'll talk about mental health and LGBT+ problems a lot. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW: WE'RE NOT ALONE. I tried to write word-for-word what I had written, but being dyslexic, I have terrible handwriting. There will be many typos, but that is because I write/type my journal entries rather quickly.

Mecember Day 4
I used to will myself to get sick just so I didn’t have to go to school. Sometimes the depression and stress would get me sick all on it’s own. Other times I just had to pretend until even I believed I was sick. I didn’t want to go to school, but not because I didn’t want to do work, but because I was ashamed and embarrassed. I was afraid of failure and that I’d come off as an idiot. I always struggled academically and didn’t want anyone to know that.
