My Roller Coaster

I was just the stereotypical little girl. The one who loved princesses and anything colorful. Only i was a bit - different. I had something called selective mutism, which less than 1% of people have. It makes it seem very difficult, or even impossible, for a person with the mental illness to talk to anyone but the few or possibly only one person(s) that they're comfortable around. Without early treatment this can follow into adulthood. Luckily, i overcame it.. but that was only the beginning.
