Self Confidence Conquers The World

Facial Expressions

I haven't actually self harmed. I've had thoughts of self harm along with a past of being suicidal over the years. And to also add here: I've been through some traumatic moments in my past which have caused me real mental health issues. Such as depression, some anxiety, and possibly PTSD. And because of my traumatic moments, I've come to be scarred by them. Fear too much for a human being.

And I can't imagine life the opposite of this. For one thing: I don't know what it's like to be treated specially. You know on your birthday, I didn't get that at all during my bday last year and I honestly don't know if I got that kind of treatment the year before. I've been scarred enough to have maybe trust issues: struggles with letting my guard down due to my parents treated me in ways (mentally) to raise my guard up even higher each time.

And that scares me when the moment comes when I meet someone and go out on a date... To conclude here. Being traumatized by things that cause you mental health issues and problems can really impact one's life in every area.

Honestly I gotta say here that we have so many problems outside our mental health community and system that needs to be attended and looked at so things can be better for our society as a whole! We all deserve to be treated so much better.
