About VioletRaven

I'm a creative 25 year old female. Left home at 17 to do BA Publishing at RGU 2005, finally admitting Depression to a Uni counsellor. Got a GP diagnosis, took medical leave, re-did 1st year & began 2nd but didn't complete it; the course wasn't for me & worsening Anorexia prevented me continuing. In 2007 I was referred to an eating disorder service & started working on teaching myself to eat again. Moved to new city got flat w friend mid 2008, but weight got worse & by start of 2009 was admitted to hospital for 3 months. Still problematic but writing & art are my lifeline.
