When I turned 5 I started to have a lot of problems throughout elementary school and middle school. I would have depressive episodes mom started putting me on meds and would force me to take them even if I didn't want to because I was a minor. (I stopped all meds when I was 18 and felt much better, and tried natural remedies instead). In this picture is me in a ballet outfit. Because I was so sad I finally had found the one thing I loved dance. When I moved my body on the floor and was taught ballet I felt myself transforming. It was making me so happy. I was at the top of my game. But sadly the much loved passion that I breathed, ate, and slept for was gone in an instant. When I was 14 I had torn my ACL, and was told by the company It's not possible for me to keep dancing. It crushed me. I had no friends, everyone at school was already bullying me, and now the one thing I loved so much I couldn't do anymore. At this point I was about to enter high school and had no clue how it was going to go. I felt very lost and vulnerable.
