I used to think that I'm a messed up adult and (most of) everyone else are normal people.
And then I looked at my workplace : an overly-submissive manager, an overly-dominating manager, no-opinion-allowed manager, a toxic positivity colleague, an overly competitive colleague, you name it. That got me to believe that EVERYONE is messed up, there's no such thing as normal people.

Hugs to everyone who was abused as a child. It took me more than 20 years after leaving my parents' house to get over my fear of life, of people, of everything, to get over my constant depression. I have been in therapy for 5 years now, and am happier than ever before. Unfortunately, life is almost finished, too, and I feel like I never really lived.

My sister ran away from our abusive father aged 16 (I was 10). When I was 11 my parents divorced and at 12 I was our fathers next victim. A year later I fell into foster care and on my 14th birthday my uncle committed suicide. When I was 15 I was severely underweight (50kg). About a year later I saved my mother's life who in a psychosis tried to kill herself. I finally decided to run away from my parents age 17. Between that time and my 21st birthday I would move 8 times. In two weeks I'm going to 'celebrate' my 22nd birthday. My life is a struggle every single day, but I'm now finally strong enough to stop thinking about suicide or even have depressive thoughts.

My therapist says that with my childhood I did not stand much of a chance for a “normal” outcome. I have been abused, molested, and raped. While I try not to let these things define me, I know they have had major affect on who I turned out to be. I dream of a life without the constant battle of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I try to remember that everyone has some inner battle, and to be grateful that I live in a time and place where I can get resources to combat these issues. It saddens me to think there are still places in this world where these things are hidden away (I come from an emotionally unavailable family, so in some sense I can relate) or the trauma survivor is to blame, and even cast from society, or killed. I pray to find some balance and stability in this lifetime so I can use my experiences to relate to and empathize with other hurting people. I strive to be the person who wears their sorrows like jewels and comes out stronger. Blessings to all.
