My mother is kind

Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

This is very honest about my youth, so it can be kind of strange. I had long-term issues with every night bedwetting and I wet myself at school also. The bullying of course didn’t help my mental-health at all and I was really thinking of ending the pain in some way, I ended up self-harming, beating myself hard with glass/plastic bottles of Coca-Cola to release emotions and for punishment. Btw I should never have done this, I believe in self-worth and kindness.

But my mother helped me in the end, because I came of age and needed more protection for the average of 9 days every month. So I saw our general physician to get access to the help I needed and this really I believe saved me from the worst parts even though it was strange and kind of embarrassing.

My mother was always there for me, even when I was severely psychotic and depressive. I have schizoaffective condition and got sick in 2005 at age 12. I have an autism spectrum condition as well, undiagnosed before 2010/2011 at age 17. One of the things I’m very grateful for is that she made me seek help while also trying hard to get me to school every day, I needed the social interaction and learning later in life. So my mother is awesome.

Thank you very much for reading this ❤
