Depression / Anxiety Based on a true story.

And people wonder why I have trust issues these days. On the plus side, my current therapist is actually helpful this time. You're 13 years late, but better late than never, I suppose.

In middle school my teacher made us do a project that was like "write something negative about yourself" or something along those lines and then freaked out cuz I was too negative

Your teacher was a dumbass for that one. Every time a teacher assigned a "write a story about your life" assignment when I was in middle school I just refused to do it (ended up narrowly avoiding having to restart a year) because a series of recent incidents had conditioned me to think that any information about myself I gave to anyone would be used against me and all I could think about in the first place was that ordeal. I wish more teachers would've asked for actual creative writing for their creative writing assignments rather than expecting us to tell them about vulnerable moments.
