Gah! It's probably been an hour now since I've been standing here with this window open, wondering what to write.

So....basically, I've not been 'officially' diagnosed, but considering I show most of the symptoms I found somewhere round here, I am pretty sure I have SA. I hope I'm wrong, but I avoid parties like the plague, it's been more than a year since I've been to the cinema with someone (on that note, I can't wait for Deathly Hallows

) and I overly stress about how people perceive me.

I'll turn 18 in a few months and I was thinking about going somewhere alone for a few days, though I'm not sure how my parents would react to that news plus I'm wondering if I will actually leave the hotel room at all. I like listening to music, reading, writing... although, sadly, I'm currently in a mood where I can't really bring myself to do anything, which saddens me further since I'm wasting the summer holiday.

And I'm a vegetarian, for almost two years now. I' don't know how long these introductions should be, so I will stop now.

P.S. Now that I've posted my 'nice to meet you' thread, I'm unsure of what to do next?

I CAN'T WAIT FOR DEATHLY HALLOWS EITHER! There's quite a number of Potter fans around here. It makes me giddy. lol

Oh, and welcome! Now that you're done here, you can join the brouhaha in the other parts of the forum. Tell us about your day, vent out your anger, unleash Volemort-hate, and whatnot. It'll be fun.

Thank guys!

Awkwardface, I have no hatred for Voldemort, only pity. :P

Hey there and welcome. I can relate to the situation and personally I think you just feel it when you really do have SA, I am not saying not to get sure on it but I believe that deep down you know whether you have it or not. Anyway, I am vegan...nice to see a vegetarian on the board

AgBjBeAF · 07-10-2011, 03:59 AM

Hi, thanks! I agree with what you said, you can feel if you have SA or not. Also, it is awesome that you are a vegan! I've considered switching to that as well, but in all honesty it will probably never happen. I couldn't do without dairy products and I lie to myself that maybe those animals aren't as maltreated.
