Hi!
My name is Sara and I'm suffering from severe depression.
My parents are from Vietnam and they came to Germany when they were very young. We haven't been well off, so traveling was never an option for me. They were very strict parents and I was never allowed to do the things I like.
I've been working since I was 14 and most of the time I gave the money to my parents to help them. I never wanted anything more than traveling. I couldn't even go to most of the school excursions since we didn't have enough money. Because of that, I was left out a lot.
Over the time I felt something was wrong with me and I had become suicidal. My parents didn't understand since they don't really acknowledge that in Vietnam, so I had to live with it.
I really want to try living for myself but since I still have to pay my bills, at the end of the month I can barely buy any food or things for myself.
So I want to travel around Asia to make me feel alive and try the things I've always wanted to do.
I really enjoy teaching and I'm already studying to become a teacher so while I'm traveling around Asia I would like to volunteer and teach English and German to those who are interested. That would make me happy.
Please help me feel better.
