Self description
Female , 22
I am a creative writing graduate. I run an information blog about body image, eating disorders, feminism, gender, sex, sexuality and sexual health. I enjoy gaming, movies, food, discussions, gigs, travelling, and more. I also love animals -- mostly cats, but who doesn't :) I have been vegetarian for around 8 years and counting.
Life experiences
Body Image, Sex
I believe it is too easy to fall into negativity about these subjects. I used to have low-self esteem because of how I looked but I managed to get out of that mind frame, and would like to try and help others do the same because every person has flaws and nobody can claim they are more beautiful than anybody else. My partner has an eating disorder and I have been trying to help her overcome it. I also think sex education is not taught properly in schools and even as an adult I learn new things every day.
Gender, Sexuality
It is a subject that interests me, and I grew up with issues about my sexuality that I am now comfortable with. I have been bullied because of how I dress and who I am attracted to. Nobody should feel ashamed because of what gender they feel they are, if it doesn't match up with their sex, or the kind of people they are attracted or not attracted to.
Depression, Anxiety, Asperger's
I have dealt with these issues many times, my partner has Asperger's and my two best friends have clinical depression and anxiety. I have social problems too, I am very introvert and have recently became to anxious to leave the house unless it is absolutely necessary. Most of my family have depression, so I grew up around it and I have spent a lot of time trying to get others out of their negative mindsets
Why mentor on horsesmouth?
I spend a lot of time advising and supporting the people around me, and would much rather try to help others with their personal struggles than spend my life working in a dead-end job. I am happy with myself and I wish everyone could feel the same about themselves. Not everyone has someone there to talk to, and I would happily be that someone.

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
