Julia,

Thank you so much for replying to my post. This age is always difficult, even for some of my friends, and they don’t even have CAH. I just had my testing this morning, so I will get the results back sometime next week or the week after. I am hoping that everything is okay.

I have been told to think of myself as not having CAH and just to live a normal life like the rest of the people in this world, but I always find that so hard to do. Perhaps, one day, I will learn to see myself as an unique individual who has her own special talents and abilities. Someone who is just the same as anyone else in this world. That day will come soon, I hope.

I help alot of people even now. I have helped suicidal people, individuals with eating disorders, and even self-injury. It is a hard thing to deal with, but I help those people because I have been there. I enjoy helping people, they are worth helping. I have one friend right now who is in a suicide treatment center in the United States getting the help that she needed, because I, along with another friend, got her the help she needed.

Anyways, that is all besides the point. I am trying so hard to be positive, especially when I am helping those with suicide or self-injury and stuff like that. I am pretty good at helping people, so I’ve been told. I love to encourage people and help in any way that I possibly can. And that makes me only hope that one day I will be able to help someone on this board, to repay you for helping me.

Take Care,

Jenn
