My name is Jayla Horton-Mitchell I was born in september 8, 2006.I suffer
from Depression and Anxiety,It’s hard to live with both because you forget

things because you’re always worrying about something else.You don’t
want to talk to other people because you’re worried what they think.I’m
always doing work so i’m called a workaholic.I work a lot because it eases
my mind into only focusing on that.
