I Was 6 When I First Started to Face Challenges

This is my story. I was 6 when I first started to face challenges. My parents divorced when I was younger and we had to leave our mum to live with our dad I remember the day they told us with every detail. After that I was 11 and my brother got on top of me and assaulted me and it affects me a lot because I cant remember anything about it apart from how old I was and how old he was.

My Life is a Mess

Hi, I wanted to share my mental health story, so here it is: I was neglected and emotionally abused for most of my childhood. Neither of my parents were in the picture, my father left willingly, my mom didn’t. I have severe ADHD that was diagnosed at age 7, and on top of that I was a “gifted kid”, all of this put a lot of strain on my mental state from a young age, but it didn’t get bad until I was in sixth grade.

My mind was lost but so was my body. I had no idea where I was, walking endlessly throughout the night. I had a series of strange experiences that were difficult to explain.

Overwhelmed to Paralysis

And that’s exactly what it was like, a dream. Until it turned into a nightmare. This nightmare was self-designed. A personal hell. I believed the government would eventually coerce me to commit an act of domestic terrorism. Unfortunately I lived in this nightmare for weeks. I struggled to get myself out of it because I had zero awareness that my beliefs were simply untrue.
