I’m not entirely sure what my motivation behind starting this was, but I guess I needed somewhere to rant. Or talk. Or something. I don’t even know what I’m doing here. Anyways, the past few years have been hard for me. And the past few months have been the hardest of it all.
I have been struggling for a while with both my mental and physical health. Recently, I’ve come to realize that there’s others out there that have been struggling too. I guess it helps me not feel so alone. My best friend recently opened up to me and shared that she’s been going through some things and we’ve been trying to help each other through it. And to anyone else who's struggling, please know you aren't alone.
I realize that it’s kind of a hard concept to grasp, especially when comparing our lives to one another’s. And that lonely feeling is completely awful. Sometimes I still do feel alone. Because not everyone is in the same boat. We’re not even in the same storm. I’m not trying to seem pessimistic or cynical, but that feeling is real. And it’s dark and cold and numb and empty. Nobody should have to feel like they’re the only one that feels that way.
I have an uncommon disease type thing, called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or CRPS. It basically is constant pain in my hands, feet, knees and other joints. I've had it for quite a while, and I feel very alone in it because I don't know a single other soul who has it. And sometimes, I have to miss out on things I love because I'm in too much pain to even do anything. I've found refuge within books and that's when I stumbled upon Harry Potter. I devoured the books within days and ever since then, Hogwarts truly has been my home even if I'm not always able to find refuge there as much as I used to. Since then, I've found other books that have been my hideaway from the world.
And my sister is getting remarried soon, my brother is moving out, and so many other things that I'm not comfortable sharing, even though you all are some of the most amazing friends I've ever had. I can't thank you enough for that.
Because it’s getting late, I’m going to call it a night. Thank you so much for reading my rant and know that you are helping me tremendously. Sorry for the depressing tone of things, but it really helps me. A lot. Feel free to rant to me anytime.
Again, so sorry for this. Love you all!!!!!!
Goodnight,
Sophieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hope your ok Sophie, and always know we are here for you, even if we dont know you in real life :)

*LOTS VIRTUAL HUGS*
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Soph, like Zoe said never ever forget you can tell us anything u want. we're your friends and i know you know that :)))) and whenever u need us we will be here for you always <3 I'm so sorry to hear that, does it affect your actress carrier too? :(
One of my sister's classmates doesn't have a particular disease, but every now and then he gets some strange diseases, and I have some other friends who have some mental health problems too :)
When you feel sad or you feel like you can't go on or like you're alone and if you walk out the door there will be no one to come and squeeze you in a big hug, just remember about your friends, your family, HP, Marvel and anything else that makes you feel happy when you think about it cause it really helps for me :) And I guess you already know the book reading method lol
WISH U ALL THE BEST ALL THE WAY FROM MY MEDIUM SIZED TOWN IN ITALY (btw its so annoying when people ask me in english "How big is ur town?" and I cant say "big" or "small" or "quite big" or "quite small" or anything else its LITERALLY A MEDIUM-SIZED TOWN and thats so annoying to say, like: "Its medium sized" i mean, cmon, it not that exciting to say)
BIG HUGS <3 <3 <3
Okay

First things first
Rant whenever you want
1 in 5 people experience a mental health problem, you're not alone! It's really easy to forget that sometimes
I hope you're doing okay and stay safe <3, everyone else too
Good luck in just life in general ❤️
