I have no idea where to start but here goes...
I have been battling Depression for 7 years on and off throughout my late teens. I am now 23. I was diagnosed with PTSD with severe depression and Anxiety.
When I was 16 years old I was sexually assaulted, beaten up black and blue and slashed on my face with a knife. (Cutting the story short because I didn't want to go into too much detail). The day after it happened I ended up standing on a bridge with a Suicide note written to my parents and there image flashed in my head.. So I walked away. I am now always thinking what if I didn't meet him that day, etc. It's tearing me up inside. I have lost all of self esteem and self confidence.. Always wanting to be different.. Thinking that people are staring, judging and not being happy how I look (loving yourself).
At 19 years old my mum was omitted to residential rehab because she's an alcoholic and had severe depression. She is in recovery now and has been for over 2 years now. I always thought it was my fault because I lost respect for everyone when I was assaulted and I can't trust anyone. At 18 years old I was in a domestic violence relationship with an ex boyfriend - I was physically, psychological and verbally abused for over 2 years.
I have now lost trust for everyone. I've got low self esteem, no self confidence and I have nightmares and flashbacks on a frequent basis.
I don't expect you to read everything because I know it's long but that's my story.
