my mental health

 I had to leave everything behind and live in pretty shitty conditions until my family had everything settled out. I pretty much had to skip one full year of school and adapt to a new language and system but I did with relative ease (actually.. maybe not). The problem is, after only about 3 weeks of primary school I had to go to secondary school and at first it was ok but then I quickly got left behind. As I've always gotten good grades before and also my crush started ignoring me, along with my family's poor financial situation at the time I got in a deep depression at about 13 years old. I only now realize that I had problems even earlier, during summer when everything was actually really well (my family was in a better situation and I basically spent time at the pool with friends in front of my house). I just don't understand what is wrong with me. For the last couple of years, I've felt trapped and unfulfilled. This led me to a (really stupid) suicide attempt and frequent self harm. When things were much worse 2, or almost 3 years ago my parents were too busy with work and I couldn't seek professional help because they didn't finish the papers at the time (basically rough situation).

  • Well done on coming so far and recognising some of the issues.  You sound like you are doing the best you can with a situation which is not under your control. 
    In my experience none of these life events happen in isolation which is why it takes so long to unpack the effects they may have had on you, well done for starting to unpacking it.
