Okay.. this is nothing compared to most of the people here, but I'll put my two cents in =]
Um.. during my priliminary and HSC years I was diagnosed with depression and an anxiety disorder that just seemed to get worse because everyone at my new school though I was some freak because of it. (some little rich bitch school, they don't know anything about stress) I was given antidepressants and xanax to stop this.. as well as 6 other meds that I've discontinued. So I abused them a little bit..
I've been through two withdrawals from the antidepressants and I'm just about to start the 3rd for the xanax.
My Chem helped me because I can relate not only to the drug abuse and withdrawal, but to the idea of being different because of something out of your control.
I read up on Gerard's addictions alot, not only because I'm on the same medication as him, but because he BEAT it, and I'm now starting not to need the meds so much =]
Through this whole thing I've been through self-destruction,emptyness + lonliness, aneorexia, blood, tears, sweat and thoughts of suicide. MCR has been the one steady thing in my life that doesn't vary. I can honestly say that their music, personalities, (fanfiction) and fanbase has helped me keep on living.
Woo!
Thanks for reading. HAIL MCR!
