Hello, my name is Ellie and I am 18 years old. I'm attending this wedding as a guest. The bride is actually one of my close friends from high school. She's just so happy and I couldn't be more excited for her. But the truth is, I'm feeling really down right now.
I haven't had the easiest childhood and it's been really hard for me to cope with all the changes that have come along in recent years. My parents got divorced when I was just 10 years old and that's when everything kind of fell apart for me. Ever since then, I've struggled with depression and anxiety.
I'm here tonight trying to put on a brave face but it's really hard. I feel like everyone is watching me and judging me based on my appearance. It makes me feel so self-conscious and uncomfortable in my own skin. I just want to blend in with the crowd and not draw attention to myself.
But despite all that, I'm still trying to stay positive and enjoy the night. Maybe talking about it will help me feel better?
