I thought I would start with saying I have something called Hoshimoto's. I am sure many other people can relate because it is very common in girls. It is less common in boys, but still common enough:

(I put facts below if you are curious what it is)

Yeah I struggle a bit from this but I am getting it under control.

What Is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (hah-she-MOE-toes thy-roy-DYE-tiss) is an autoimmune disease. It causes most cases of hypothyroidism in kids and teens. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is also called chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.

What Happens in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an ongoing condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid. Often, this prevents the thyroid from making enough thyroid hormone, causing hypothyroidism. The body responds by sending a message to the thyroid to work harder to make enough hormone.

This, and the swelling the immune system causes as it attacks the gland, can make the thyroid get bigger, leading to a goiter. The thyroid can keep changing size over months or years. Surgery is sometimes done to treat goiters, especially if the thyroid is big enough to cause problems with swallowing. But this is rarely needed in children.

Also, I have struggled with mental health issues after losing my brother 3 years ago. It comes and goes in waves, but I guess sometimes I am really good at pretending Im okay. This is why I made this: Because I want everyone to know that it is okay to admit that you are not okay. Approximately one in five teens between ages twelve and eighteen suffer from at least one diagnosable mental health disorder. I want you to know that you are not alone! If you ever need help or someone to talk to, my pm's are open! Also you could talk to a family member, friend or guidance concealer. There are also online guidance counselors you can speak to!

Anyways, You are loved! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ (x infinity)
