Therapy Bits

Sadje asks us this week in her Sunday poser:

How has your personality changed as you’ve got older?

Well, mine has definitely changed.

Mental illness changed me.

I used to be a very outgoing child. I could always be found exploring outside, climbing, running etc.

Then I was abused, in the boarding school that I attended. I was also bullied.

Those two events changed me forever.

Then, in my teens I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

I became a different person after my diagnosis.

I was much quieter, I wasn’t as confident as I had been before.

I’m still quiet today in my adult life.

Yes I can be social, but for the most part I am very quiet.

I am also shy, unless I know you well.
