Ridiculed for my diagnosis, being declared weak, the reason humanity is awful.
Oh, boy, where to start. I guess firstly, hello, I am a relitively new member to 7 Cups, I found it as a recommendation on my Google Play Store. (Even the robots see how bad I am, thanks Zucc) ok. Enoughjoking and formalities are out of the way.
I am an 18 year old guy who went to an all boys school in Ireland. This includes both Primary and Secondary education. In my 12? Years of education, about 6 to 7 of the years I was consistently bullied, in those years, there were even attempts on my life. And, no, I am not exaggerating. I suppose we will get to that part of the story a little later. Heres to hoping I don't hit a word limit.
Lets start off with a little background .as you can probably guess I am an Irish Guy that has only recently finished Secondary education (for you guys in U.S. its High School). I was born with a problem with my heart known as Tetraology of Fallot. I will skip the boring parts and just let you know that it can be linked to mental illness as told to me by my GP (TBH, I wouldn't have thought it would, but I ain't a doc, so.) Along with that my family has a long history of mental illness both on my Maternal and Paternal sides, mainly linked to Stress, Anxiety and Depression. I am quite small for my age, mainly cause of the Heart Condition, I stand at about 5ft 4ish. Basically, an easy target for any bully. That's all I think I will mention for this paragraph. I see now a character so will post a continuation below.

@conscientiousPineapple1782, Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, I find it hard to trust or believe in myself. I always find myself moving one step forward and 3 back. I posted this story not so much for me,but for others to know they aint alone. That Trauma is not limited to the battlefield, it can effect anyone, everyone.
I still have alot to overcome. I know it isnt so much as an If but rather a when I do. The only thing is,its alot harder when few around you accept your condition. When even your friends cast you aside for being 'weak' and 'disgraceful'. unfortunately for them,I am quite spiteful, and If I dont get bettwr for myself, its likely I do just to hit back at them.
