I first heard of MD about 3 years ago. My friend was printing an article on it for current events. The title scared me and I looked it up to see whether or not I had it. I'm 19 and I woke up when I was 16. I guess I'm lucky because I found out about it now instead of years later but it doesn't feel that way. I wish I could say that I freed myself from it but I can't. I graduated highschool two years ago and I'm supposed to be in college but I'm not. I'm afraid that college will bring the real world inside my head permanently. I don't know how to live without my friends and family that I've created. They're my comfort when everything goes wrong.They make me feel alive but life is passing me by the real world. I know its time to stop. How do I stop when I can't? When I don't want to? I'm being left behind and I don't know if I want to stay.
