Hi guys! This is my first roleplay so please bear with me
I am a sucker for romance, therefore this roleplay will probably be going in that direction. [yay] However, it will not revolve around that - it is in fact a completely different [and i am hoping unique] idea, so please give it a read!
This may seem a rather odd plot but please read the whole thing, it will help you understand it much better. And there are notes here and there that are vital, so please don't skip them out, and sorry if I wrote too much! I just have a thing for writing in great bouts of detail.
I have had this idea for a while now, and I am not sure if it will work, but here goes.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Plot:
Elm Teenage Care Center is a place for teenagers [aged 14-19] with psychological disorders. It is where teenagers with these disorders are taken when they are no longer wanted by their parents. Some of the disorders are quite minor, whilst some of them are very severe. This is a new programme, and its aim is to help teenagers adjust, accommodation. There are occasional counsellor and teaching sessions. Teenagers live in dorms, one per room.
[PLEASE NOTE: this roleplay will be situated at the time when this center is opening, therefore all characters will be joining new and the first post will probably be about the character/s going to the center for the first time]

Disorders and symptoms [all symptoms do not apply to your character as certain symptoms are for certain severity of disorders]:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder:
This disorder is one which sees exaggerated worry and anxiety. There are no or nearly very few specific sources of this worry - for most people affected by this disorder, it is just there.
Symptoms: Excessive worrying with no apparent source of agitation; exaggerated startle reflex; inability to sleep due to worrying too much; fatigue; breathlessness; trembling and lip biting; excessive sweating.
Panic Disorder:
This is the disorder in which frequent panic attacks occur. People that suffer from these panic attacks may be triggered by an event or shock, or they may experience attacks for no apparent reason.
Symptoms: Feeling of intense terror, sometimes without reason; constant fear that another attack may happen at any time; people describe these attacks as heart attacks or near death experiences; causes behaviour of paranoia - avoiding certain things from fear of being triggered.
Eating Disorders:
These are disorders in which someone's eating habits are changed, for the worse.
a) Anorexia Nervosa: This is an eating disorder in which the affected person fear gaining weight so much that they starve themselves by skipping meals and not eating at all. They have a distorted image of their weight, and normally even though they are severely underweight, they will still diet/starve themselves through fear.
Symptoms: Fear of gaining weight; starving self; avoiding eating; think themselves fat even though extremely underweight; anorexics lose around 10-60% of body weight.
b) Bulimia Nervosa: People affected by this disorder also fear gaining weight, and whilst anorexics starve themselves, bulimics will eat but then purge their meal by force-vomiting, using drugs/laxatives or dieting.
Symptoms: forcing self to vomit; using drugs/pills/laxatives; sometimes eating a lot just to purge it.
Bipolar Disorder:
This disorder sees major mood swings that occur instantly. Bipolar II sees swings between hypomania and depression.
Symptoms: Swing from depression [feeling down, upset, worried] to hypomania [sudden outburst of exhilaration, enthusiasm, hyperactivity, not needing to sleep]; increased risk of suicide; swinging to hypomania and then after in depressive mood mocking self and questioning what they were doing in their previous state.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder:
This is a disorder where the affected person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviour. For example, if someone is obsessed with their fear of falling sick, they might feel it absolutely necessary to shower all the time. Moreover, victims may fear harming others around them.
Symptoms: Consistent repetition of behaviour that causes temporary relief - e.g. washing hands all the time, locking doors; Obsessive fear e.g. of being burgled; also, fear of harming others around you accidentally or on purpose
Social Anxiety Disorder:
This is the constant fear of reacting inappropriately in social situations or being around people. It is the fear of humiliating oneself, therefore keeping to self and not interacting with others.
Symptoms: dreading normal activities like - talking on the phone, going to school, eating in front of others; avoiding eye to eye contact; not wanting to leave the house or room in fear of people; having a low-self esteem.
