yea since i was also diagnosed with depression, that was easy to also diagnose. i was going through a lot and had planned to commit, so those diagnoses were obvious

not really. i had told my cousin i wanted to commit, and it led to a whole big thing. i sort of got into detail about how i was feeling, but i think my body language showed a lot as well. even the way i speak sort of gives vibes that i have anxiety
