19 years old, he/him I'm mentally ill.

suspected BPD, ADD, Autism, atypical anorexia > diagnosed severe depression, generalized anxiety disorder. I have 5 trillion unhealthy coping mechanisms- I can't afford to go to therapy so I do what I can to treat myself.

I always reply as soon as I am able, if there's a delay I'll try to let you know in advance if possible. Communication is my #1 priority in relationships. If it's not a priority for you, we're probably not meant to be friends.

I struggle with socializing, and especially with reaching out to people first. Please don't think it's anything against you if I don't reach out first. I tend not to reach out first since I'm worried about being bothersome (even with reassurance that I'm not). Sorry.. I struggle to maintain close bonds with people due to fear of being talked about behind my back and fear of being abandoned. I'm sorry if I'm not as interactive as I should be. I'm trying my best. Please tell me if I need to change anything to make you feel more comfortable in our friendship. I'll do the same.
