I was reading through my old posts, and realised what an emotional mess I was. I cringe now when I read through my old questions and comments.

But I just wanted to say thanks to each and every one of you who commented on my posts and helped me feel better in the moment, or gave me a reality check that I needed.

I finally realised the root cause of all my issues, i.e. subtle bullying in school over years, an absent father, growing up with a sister with special needs and and an anxious mother.

It's no surprise that I had a hard time with anxiety, trauma and PTSD, but now I can make sense of it. I think I did pretty well for surviving my teens and early adulthood.

I am in a better place now, I get professional help twice a week, I have a stable job, I have successfully completed my education and I am growing mature day by day. I also have a few friends whom I love and I am looking forward to making more in this journey of life.

P.s - Does anyone know if I can delete my old posts or change my username to become anonymous? (I don't want people who know me to find this).

Thanks again,
N

Thank you so much for letting us know we helped somehow and at least were a soundingboard for you. You had posted in January 2018: "Reading through my older posts I have noticed how much I have grown as a person and received the help I needed." That says it all!
