My life today has changed over the past ten years. My mental health status ten years ago, verses my life today is totally different. Though today I am in a foster care, and doing much better; however, ten years ago I was put in a group home named Maryhurst with several problems containing my mental health status.
During my stay at Maryhurst, I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and a year later with bipolar. Finding the right medications for me was a huge problem; infact, no doctor could find medications that would work right for my disorders. Today, I have the right medications for my disorders; the medicines are helping me, and working very well. I have learned some information about ADHD and bipolar; though, I would like to learn more.
Ten years ago my mental health status was heartbreaking; I was a scared little girl, who didn't know how to love and care about someone. I was scared to get close to anyone; consequently, I feared that I would hurt someone or they would hurt me. I was a child full of rage then, making sure no one got close to me, or I didn't get close to anyone. As a little girl my parents never showed thought me about love; of course, the only thing they ever did was hurt me. My mother, father, and step father's were always drunk and on drugs, they never had time for their children. It was always what they need and not what we need. Knowing what happened to me as a child, I knew that's why I was full of rage. As time went by the staff tried to help me realize that the nights I spent being beaten till I was blue, and the nights I went without food, or water wasn't my fault. Looking back at those times all I felt then was I wanted to die, so I wouldn't have to live those horrible nightmares any longer; because, I knew they would haunt me for the rest of my life, and they still do. My life is better now because, of the staff at Maryhurst. They have taught me that I don't have to be afraid anymore, and that it's okay to love and care about people.
