Experiencing Various Emotional Traumas

Published: August 29, 2018
Dear TeenHealthFX,

I see and hear things that aren't there and I used to cut myself and I barely leave the house bc I'm scared of people and what they think of me, but I'm also afraid of being raped I've thought about killing myself but I just couldn't I thought about all the people that I love so dearly and how sad they would've gotten , my mom thinks I'm crazy and just wants attention buy what I want is help I feel like have so many things like depression, social anxiety, insomnia, and whatever makes you see things , back to the things I see and hear I see like dark figures and deformed people , I know I sound so crazy but I cant help it , I didn't choose this life , my sisters make fun of me bc I used to write my feelings down on sticky notes and put them on the inside of my closet door, they would read them , it would piss me off bc my parents wouldn't do anything about it ,I named the deformed people I sound crazy ugh but it bob, Jeff, tom , and Becky . I know this was all over the place but that's how I feel and a lot more
