Misery

I had a tough August for many reasons. Firstly, next to Jimmy, Alex is my best friend, and he was hospitalized for almost three weeks. Secondly, that meant Judy was away for weeks too. And finally, certain events at home had me totally stressed out. I am not proud of myself, but I need to confess to stop others from doing what I did. I told my parents a terrible lie so they would not go on a trip. I could not cope with the stress of them leaving: my OCD went nuts. And so I lied, to try to force them to not go.

Anxiety and OCD are hell. I don’t have the words to describe the misery they put me through.
