Hi, my name is Aliyah and at this moment in time, I'm dealing with my mental health right now. It's hard, but I feel like if I put my story on here, people could relate to me. Growing up, I was abused phsycally, verbally, and sexually. I was also neglected. During this moment of time, I thought it was normal. I even thought it was normal having nightmares of my mom killing me. I realized that it wasn't though. I started developing social anxiety, later developing into something even worse at this moment. I started thinking about what other people thought of me and I would get hurt easily by others reactions. My friends would get mad at me. I would get mad at myself. I feel like a terrible person for talking about my feelings. For talking about a situation that made me feel terrible to another friend. Which my closer friends would hate. I developed even more depression because I thought I was immature, terrible, horrible, worthless, and hopeless. I'm still feeling this right now. It won't go away.
