Truthfully? - Childhood issues, led to teen issues, led to adult issues. A whole heap of bad situations, circumstances and experiences. - My mental health is a constant work in progress. I have little/no support for my child who has multiple health issues. - I'm broke. - I'm getting old. - I hate looking at myself in the mirror because mental health issues made me gain serious weight and now I need surgery. I hate myself to the extent I seriously think about ending it way more often than is normal. - But I have to smile and keep going for my child and some days it feels impossible. - I constantly doubt anyone could ever love me because of all of the above.
