Question:
Personally, I'd be interested to see the correlation between childhood
stress and long term mental illness... I know from my "meditation"
exercise that a lot of my problems I have now are from childhood stress,
but it took me a long time to realise that. I wonder how many cases of
long term mental illness are directly related to childhood expiriences?
Answer:
There must be a correlation. From what we know about the brain, there's
physical development in any part of the brain that's used for tasks or
emotions. What they're learning now is that that development doesn't
stop with adulthood. That means one should be able to "heal" the damage,
and I imagine that the correlation doesn't have to be real for everyone,
but is for some.
It is thought that my Depressive illness is related to my
childhood. I was raised by a step father and was kept in the dark as to who
my true father was for far too long . I think I lost my Identity , and
finished up a nobody .
I grew up being in the dark all the time, even though I was given what I
asked my parent, they wont tell me anything about the world around me. What
my mom did I have no freaking clue. I dont know a thing about the society
and they keep making me think that everyone is evil and I should just be
alone. And the noise of lonlieness is just so deafening. I feel like what
the chinese put it, being placed inside a drum while someone's beating it. I
tell my sister I want to kill myself she gets all mad, she's no help, maybe
I should just do it just to see what she thinks.
Your sister is right to be mad at you , what right have you got to
take away, a great gift that your mother gave to this world . have you
thought that your sister needs you and loves you very much . I can
understand the feeling of being inside a drum , I used to feel like my head
was in one of those round fish bowels and I could not take it off , or maybe
I was just too afraid to do so . Lets make no mistake , life's a shit , but
It can get better with time , and we still have that chance all be it a
little small just now .
