Sibling Emotional Abuse

...See more Hello guys, so Ive been reflecting on my life this summer since school is out. Now that I have so much time along with work and friends, I felt like I am still broken. Ive been pretending to be okay and be happy most of the time when Im around friends and acquaintances that its been so exhausting to keep up. Recently, Ive been slowly opening up to my close friends about my struggle with anxiety and depression resulted from my dysfunctional family lifestyle. Most of them understood and gave me their support, not to mention the ones who understands are the ones who also grew up with some conflicts with their families as well. It felt so good to let it out especially when I mentioned my past suicidal thoughts. I never got along with my older sister and I had looked through my old high school Facebook posts from me talking about how I wanted to kill myself and leave the world. It was all so vivid seeing them again. It all started when my parents started to argue a lot, then it just falls apart and my older sister turned on me. I am on my journey trying to get used to physical and emotional affection from my friends such as hugs, having someones head on my shoulder and being physically close in general. Im still fighting the tendency of leaving them before they leave me because I am so afraid of getting hurt by those who are close to me. I am moving on to my final year of undergraduate school at my university.
