Hi. I’m Brooke and I am nine years old. When I was seven I had to watch my alcoholic grandmother bleed out on the sidewalk and I could never come back from that. I am very smart and I know a lot of things but my childhood is ruined and I’m scarred for life. Sometimes I just want to sit down climb up in my bed and cry sometimes. But that’s OK. I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety when I was eight years old. It’s kind of hard being somebody with anxiety because you always think oh, they’re talking about you oh, they hate you oh, you’ll never make plans.

I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety when I was eight years old. It’s kind of hard being somebody with anxiety because you always think oh, they’re talking about you oh, they hate you oh, you’ll never make friends. But it’s just so hard. When I turned nine I want to overcome my feelings and I made some new friends and I got a new school and I had a fresh start. I have a lot of people who love me and my grandmother quit drinking. Thanks for listening to my story

My boomoji!
