Something’s not right

WHY?!

WHY?!

Discuss 😊.

Seriously, though, do you ever wonder why you went through what you went through? Because I don't get it.

I'm going to have to do a mountain of work, just to be where I was... where I probably should have been, if life was even remotely fair.

What am I even working towards? Overcoming Depression is miraculous all, but most people don't have to fight so hard for their health.

I shouldn't have to. I got Depression from being bullied in childhood for nine years. My earliest memory is being bullied in Kindergarten. I SHOULD have had an easier childhood, or at least a childhood that didn't vaporise my soul... and if I did, I would probably be in a completely different place.

Fighting mental illness and trying your best to improve your life is worth celebrating... I just wish I could take some things for granted. Selfish or not, it's real.

Yes @florencefifty I do wonder why but like you, I don’t really have an answer.

Re: WHY?!

I ask why a lot. Why did all this stuff happen to me. Surely I must be a terrible person and I deserve all the things that have happened to me. There can be no other logical reason. 😩

Re: WHY?!

No.... the people who did this to you were the terrible people. It is illogical to assume that the person who was attacked with no provocation is to blame. No law would uphold that.

@florencefifty childhood bullying is not easy. I know this from personal experience. It can be quite isolating. It’s quite normal to wonder why things have turned out the way they did. But do know you didn’t deserve to be bullied all those years. Feel free to share your thoughts and feelings on SANE, we are here for you ❤️
