Glad you've stuck through it all and can now kind of see the light at the end of your tunnel! Gods knows from reading that you've been through a lot!

Keep smiling buddy.

Wow, first time I ever hear about this smizing stuff. Just tried it in front of the computer, and even though a mirror will be needed for confirmation, the feelings of my facial muscles tell me it's quite different from my usual smile! I'm going to keep training for sure, especially since I also don't know how to smile on demand - I can only smile when I feel genuinely happy, which thankfully has been quite often for the past 5 years, but I still end up in a bad spot sometimes and my forced smiles look horrible.

And +1 about smiles that help you feel better, that's definitely true. Good mood is self-sustaining.

5/5 gonna train tonight

What a story. I almost cried really hard when reading through this blog. Everything you wrote down there, like 80% of them are similar to what I'm currently having (except I'm not an alcoholic/drugs user).
I'm 17, just like you, can't smile naturally even though there are funny things right in front of you.

Anyways, congrats for turning around your life from a nothing to something. May your life gets better as time goes on.
Cheers~


Note: the mood down there isn't true lol
Whether it has ended with a happy ending or sad, I never was an important thing to you.

This deserves a bump!
Ever once in a while im reading this and feel a lot better afterwards.
I have alot in common with you and your story. Only difference is that i escaped through gaming.
At one point i couldnt take it anymore and fought myself back into life.
I hated myself so much for who i was. For all the mistakes,lost opportunities and time i wasted.
Now i try to become better with everyday that pasts.
I got myself a job with stable income, lost 30 kg in 2 years and fixed most of my life.
Im not where i want to be yet and im still stuck with some problems.
Especially with my social anxiety but it gets better with every day.

About facial expression the eyebrows take a hugh part in it too.
It is my main problem with expressing myself.
I lost the left and right outer parts up to the half and even got left with a big scar on my left one.
So regardless what facial expression i make i will always look kind of angry or hostile towards others.
It scares away almost everyone and im only left with covering them with something.
There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want.
