I just joined these forums and like you, I’ve been quietly dealing with and downplaying my own mental issues, neglecting myself for so long and now i’m 27 and trying to change an entire lifetime of mental anguish. I ended up internalizing my frustrations and started to get very abusive and explosive to myself and others. I’ve strained or ended so many relationships, friendships and jobs that I felt like the only way to save myself was to end it…but that’s a great disservice to the person I can become and to the ones who love me.
I feel like i’ve wasted the first 27 years of my life, but I’ve got so many years ahead to live and make up for. It’s not gonna be an easy or short journey but there is, for once in my life, a light at the end of the tunnel.
