Hi,
After coming to terms with a bipolar/mixed episode or anxiety/depression (depending on which doctor)episode that chucked me into hospital. I'm going on a bit of soul search on how I've always treated myself pretty badly and the causes.What I've come up with is that, most if not all stemmed fom the fact that I was severely bullied from the age of 5-15 and mainly from girls, althought sometimes from boys.
I never thought it was a "worthy" enough cause of mental health problems,until I started reading about bullying and girls and how insidious it is. I now don't trust friendships with other people, often think everyone hates me and am incredibly sensitive and anxious. I'm only now starting to recognise a good natured jibe for what it is.
I guess what I'm getting to is wanting to know stories from you guys and possible ways of dealing with it through therapy and self help etc. I didn't know if this kind of post belonged to the social site or not.
Thanks for reading this long post
Amy
