I was diagnosed with depression when I was 16 years old, 6 years later it is still a struggle! I put on loads of weight, I didn't have any friends and I was just wallowing in my own self pity. Luckily, I have a loving and understanding partner who makes my day just a little bit easier. I don't know where I'd be without him. Now, I am trying to get my life on track, I'm exercising, eating right, trying to be more sociable and I've honestly never felt better. I have baby twin brothers who I absolutely adore, I've met some of my heroes at Comic Cons and I've finally stopped hiding my geeky personality.
