My name is Shawn, I have had depression since I was younger, I lived in a hotel for most of my life and have saw and been through a good bit of abuse. I’m here because my mental health has been falling pretty hard lately and ruining my friendships and relationships with my wife. I want to become more confident and overcome my past traumas but it’s been getting really hard lately.

I am really sorry to hear this. Are you in therapy? Group counseling? Any meds? You have to work through your trauma so you can move past it. I am sure it is hard for your wife. Focus on you for a little bit. I hope she can be patient and supportive of you

Hello Shawn,
I am Aria. Very sorry to hear that you struggle. Childhood trauma often affects our adulthood, however, a lot of people do not know the root of their problems or stay in denial. I think it is amazing that you decided to face and process your past to get better.💜
I hope you will find support and helpful resources here. I wish you strength, happiness in life and good relationships with loved ones. You deserve it 💖

@Shawnpat96.

Hey Shawn,

I understand having depression since you were younger. I understand living in a hotel most of your life was hard and trauma doesn't help with that. I understand mental health falling apart. We all have our times when we need help. I understand mental health ruining friendships and your relationship with spouse. I'm glad you want to be more confident of yourself. I understand getting past your past traumas is hard. I believe in you though. I know getting over trauma and it may take time. But it will eventually get better and you'll be able to live with. Please take care of yourself and your mental health. Stay safe❤️
