Uhh new here šš
Hii yall..this will probably be just yap about anxiety/deppression
Donāt feel like you need to reply !!
important info::: Iām safe, I donāt see my bio dad anymore and went no contact recently!!!!!
(Pretend Iām shaking in fear of being judged)
So my parents divorced when I was a few months old. I have 3 siblings on my dadās side and six on my momās. 7 brothers and a sister. One of my brothers was put up for adoption before my mom met my dad because he err didnāt treat his ex very well and she wanted to protect the baby.
I did public school in kindergarten-1st grade. I got pulled out of first grade because they were trying to hold me back due to me being one reading level behind. Then my mom did āunschoolingā till 5th grade. Although I was unschooled I didnāt struggle much academically!! Soo, thatās a positive!
From early ages Iāve experience social anxiety. When my biological dad would take me anywhere Iād be scared and constantly hide behind him or just go completely mute. I had my first panic attack after recently having experienced a traumatic event when I was around 8.
When I was 8-9 was the early start of depression. I didnāt get out of my room much unless I was told to and I didnāt really take care of myself unless someone else did it for me.
When I was ten and more independent I didnāt ever leave my room unless I was told. I was in 5-6th grade at this time. I did virtual with meets so I barely interacted socially. I was on *** a lot, barely showered, didnāt brush my teeth AT ALL, wouldnāt change clothes, etc. I had so many absences and work to do at this time. I had at least 100 missing assignments..and thatās at LEAST.
Seventh grade I got minorly better. It was only because I had gotten into a relationship and wanted him to think I was good and clean. I only took care of myself when he could see me, but it got much worse after that due to how he treated me and how it ended. I was so attached to him he lied and said he cheated three times just to get me to leave. Thatās bad on me for not letting go, but he didddd love bomb me so Iām not sure how to see it. We were both young so I forgive him for everything that he did.. even if some of it wass not great
Now Iām in 9th grade. Iāve noticed that the only times I truly take care of myself is when 1. Iām seeing my current bf whether that be FaceTime (which isnāt often) or in person 2. If itās the 2-4 days out of the month I have any motivation. I donāt have any disorders and Iām very apprehensive about saying I might for whatever reason even if I show signs for a lot. I usually just use being diagnosed with ADD(adhd) as an excuse. A lot of people in my life close to me have said I could have bi polar, autism, BPD⦠the list goes on and on. But the list being so long and so many people saying different things or similar things confuses me and makes me feel like if I have so many symptoms of so many things then I must have nothing, right??
Iāll not shower or brush my teeth for a week. Not change clothes, barely do any school, have little motivation to talk to anyone, be irritable, etc. but then thereās those golden days where Iām FINALLY deep cleaning my room, doing a ton of school, showering, brushing my hair and teeth, and happily talking to everyone. I donāt even get irritated when my mom asks me to do something. Itās also like Iām less irritable/sensitive. But sometimes anxiety will hit if my momās acting weird or if someone says something that I donāt like that could lead to me being in any kind of trouble and it sets me back. My mind will start racing and my heart will sink over small things and then Iāll start the continuous sleeping..and other stuff.
Iāve also started pulling out my hair? Iāve always picked at things. Before when I was little Iād run my hands through my hair for hours on end and not be able to sleep. Then it was picking at scabs on my head, then pimples/blackheads, then now itās any dry skin (I have eczema) and pulling my hair out. Idk what thatās about but I refuse to be bald, my hair is my entire personality. Thatās why itās so weird to me. Iāll space out and suddenly 30 hairs are gone?? Idk how to stop or how to redirect it.
