My Childhood Was So Bad ...am Now Depressed by Abetterperson: 6:21pm On Nov 09, 2020 |
for some reason am always depressed. granted my childhood was terrible. I grew up in a broken home with my dad not living with us and my mom verbally and physical abusing me..my mom had sex with men while I was still on the bed and sometimes I could hear and see them (she stopped this when I was fourteen)she constantly masturbate in my presence, that still gives me nightmares till now. my sister was a hot temper monster in my opinion and my dad was cool but was never really there. now that am older have tried my best to put that aside and enjoy my life but every time am always depressed and sad one minute am happy thenthe other I just want to die as I get older it keeps getting worst and for some reason I tend to over think can my depression be linked to my childhood 1 Like 1 Share |

Abetterperson: I'm so sorry about your experience. If you want, I would like to recommend online therapy sessions. Some are free and can be very helpful. I recommend cimhs.com, it's a site that offers therapy for depression. You probably live here in Nigeria, see if you can speak to a certified and trained therapist that specialises in treating early child abuse and adult depression. Avoid unsympathetic people as much as possible. No, they are not being "real". They are being very cruel and thoughtless. So sorry. Please take care of yourself 4 Likes 1 Share |

Try to find a hobby. Many successful people have had rough pasts. You must be determined not to focus on it. Date only people that truly love you. Never be under pressure to settle. Focus on yourself and a tangible career. If you're a student, focus on your studies and do well. Your mother has let you down by exposing you to that rubbish but be intentional to do much better. 3 Likes |

Abetterperson: Honestly at this your present age am sure that you are above 20yrs of age Why are you holding back yourself when you are are supposed to keep moving Those things you saw your mum doing shouldn't hold you back Stop remembering them because it's not taking you anywhere, it's now left for you to prepare yourself as a man and workout a way to achieve success One problem with depression and is, if you welcome depression the depression will bring his entire family to live in your head and start frustrating your life So don't give them the room 2 Likes |

I too, feel for you and what you have gone through. I also agree that while spirituality is important, issues regarding mental health concerns (such as depression) often overwhelm our spiritual responses and require psychotherapy treatment. I would suggest a therapist who practices either Narrative Therapy or Person-Centred Therapy. These are both therapies which will build you up and affirm you as you seek to understand the damage which has been done to you. You can find an example of a Narrative/Person-Centred Therapist here - www.whiteboardcounselling.com. This is the type of therapist which I believe would be ideal for you. All the best. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Waoooo.... I'm surprised about 15 nairaland monikers who commented above were humane and sensitive.Waoooo.... I'm still surprised. To op, embrace God,He will only give you that which you are seeking for,try also to forgive your mother and reconnect with your father. 2 Likes |
