▪The smallest things can alter my mood before I even realize it.

▪I don’t usually know how I feel or why I feel a certain way.

▪I feel like I act differently with almost every person I know depending on how I know them and what their personality is.

▪I do things that I know aren’t okay and I never thought I’d let myself do.
