My parents could’ve helped me years ago. - May 3rd 2022, 07:39 PM
My aunt is bipolar like me so we can relate to each other a little bit. I told my aunt about how I was in the psych hospital and she said that she told my parents I’d need help one day. She knew that I’d need help back when I first got my period. Apparently my mom brushed her off and said that no, that won’t happen. I was eleven when I first got my period. Eleven. It means I started showing outward signs of mental illness earlier than I thought. My parents could’ve gotten me help and treatment before it got bad. Before I started self harming.

I need to learn how to accept this.

You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
