uh hi. I'm Tropicalfirestorm.
My life is a clusterf**k, so I'd rather not describe it.
I am 5'5 and somewhere around 230lbs and 23 years old. I have a problem where I want to eat until I feel sick. I've always been this way, but this mental defunct was exasperated by a time period in which I was a minor and the adult who was supposed to be taking care of me didn't buy food.
I'm a college drop out (I was an English major) with tons of debt. I am almost done with a medical assistant program now, even though I hate/have no interest in biology. Except for genetics. Genetics are cool. And anatomy- but only to where it relates to art. I have tons of debt, due to dropping out of college after my stint with agoraphobia.
Some days I feel like life is amazing and there are so many options available to me and so much to learn and see and experience and feel. Other days I get a bit depressed and feel like I want to give up. I want to exercise as that is supposed to help people with panic attacks/agoraphobia/depression. And because I am bigger than I've ever been and for the first time when I look in the mirror I feel well and truly ugly.
I used to be very active, and i actually enjoy the physical aspect of loosing weight. That said, I have an ankle that got hit by a car a few years ago, and it isn't as strong as it should be.
Um.... I'm VERY honest. I always try to put myself in other people's shoes (so to speak), and I am a bit of an *kitten* sometimes. I AM ALSO SUPER CUTE AND AWESOME THOUGH
-sometimes-.
My hobbies include learning new things, reddit, stumbleupon, drawing, reading, walking, (biking, but my bike was stolen), and looking up bdsm games to play with the guy I love.
So yuh. There. me. I'm really tired because it's 2am so I think ima go to bed. Come see my at my "sketch you" thread.:yawn:

Tropicalfirestorm you're a hoot.
half a BA. I've got half a BA too.
I've had some struggles with anxiety/depression and can only say it's worth fluffing around trying to find the perfect med. I say this because I'm finally on it and life is suddenly sooooo easy. Well. getting there anyway. That and counselling. Anyway... Friend add me if you can bear the thought. I hope it all goes well for you.0 -
thank you0
