Hello Everybody,
I'm here to give you a little information about myself (A bit of a biography if you will).
EARLY YEARS
To start I was born in Milwaukee, WI to a sixteen year old mother with alcohol and drug problems who was deemed unfit to raise me, and adopted in to a loving home by my mother and father at the age of three. I grew up and lived in the middle of Wisconsin, not going to go much further due to privacy. During this time my sister was also adopted into my family, she was only 5 months old. My parents both worked very well payed and busy jobs; my father being a CEO of a construction company and my mother, head of sales compensation at a large business/medical practice insurance company. During my childhood I bounced around between eight different child care providers, and two schools until starting kindergarten at a private lutheran school at the age of five.
PRE-TEEN YEARS
During my teens I was diagnosed with a few disorders which have caused quite a few problems growing up, making social connections, and caused a difficult in school. I have been diagnosed with Manic-Depressive Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and ADHD. When I was 16 my grandma was diagnose with Alzheimer's Disease (A mentally degrading form of dementia), and was considered unfit to live on her own; she had a strong desire to continue living at home, so my father tried to live with her, but that didn't last for long. After a few weeks of my father living with her, I decided to help out and began living with her to make sure she was provided for, granted there were other people caring for her to bring her lunch, bathe/cloth her; my job was to basically just watch her, organize her medications and I cooked for her and I during dinner time.
TEENAGE YEARS
Currently I'm only 19 years old, and attend a University in Wisconsin as a psychology major. I am a very anti-social person, and spend most of my time alone, whether it be at home or in the library. I have been diagnosed with Social Anxiety, but I don't believe that it's a disorder I have, I just truly don't want to socialize. I don't really like people and don't enjoy spending time or being around them, I view most people as cynical manipulative creatures and prefer to not be in their presence. I find myself being far more mature, and cognitively developed than most of my peers, and for that reason it makes it hard for me to make friends because I have a fairly low tolerance to obnoxiousness. I am kind to every person I meet, regardless of their views towards me. Most people who don't take time to know or understand me view me as a spoiled rich kid, and this may be true, everything I own has been handed to me, I drive a nice vehicle, live in a 4 bedroom house, and wear nice clothes. I am unemployed, but have previously worked at my dad's construction company, and Burger King. I volunteer every day at the local YMCA, boys and girls club, and at a church (I'm an agnostic atheist, but I have seen the hope religion has given people, and have seen bad people change because of it), and spend an average of 30-40 hours a week volunteering. I have been offered jobs at all of these places, and while I would love to work at them, I am gifted financially, and would rather just give out my time instead.
Three days ago my grandma collapsed and died of a Stroke/Heart attack in my arms while taking her to the hospital with my father. After her death I suffered a severe anxiety attack, and was hospitalized due to falling unconscious in the Operating Room after witnessing my father cry for the first time in my life. I have been given a temporary Ativan prescription and I don't think I could go to sleep at night without it during this time (Thank you modern medicine). I sat alone in my house for the first time in three years, and felt lonely for the first time in my life. I love solitude and prefer to be alone, and I don't actually remember a time where I've felt lonely just being by myself. Luckily tonight, in roughly 45-60 minutes I will become a temporary guardian for two weeks to my lovely niece (4 years) and nephew (6 years), while my aunt goes to Florida due to the death of her ex-husband (She didn't want to bring her children, because the father was abusive, and she doesn't want them to know him, or bring them into the life of his family). I cannot wait to have people staying in my house, I honestly cannot stand the loneliness.
Now you have a summary about my life, if you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask.
