I'm 18 years old , and I feel I am at a complete loss at my life, I guess you could say I'm at a cross roads, I've been struggling with mental health my entire life, as early as two years old when I witnessed my father abusing my mother and nearly knocking her over the stairs with me attached to her arm, about 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar , I never expected this , I've been treated for depression, anxiety issues, ADD, PTSD and so fourth , due to being misdiagnosed, the medication back fired and made my mental state a little less stable , from being misdiagnosed and mistreated , I have also over came a heroine addiction that begn when I was 15. I have been swept under the rug my whole life when it came to my mental welfare, Recently its been pacified as coming off drugs, im nearly 6 months clean, And am so proud of myself, but those around me discourage me, I am not mentally unstable, I have the capability of being an independent women , but my human basic rights to freedom have been unwillingly taken from me , because of the counter-reaction to the wrong medication and now deemed as a threat to myself. I began suicidal thoughts at age 8 , I moved provinces and had no friends or family where I had moved with my mother. Things only went down hill , it all makes since being diagnosed at bipolar it connects a lot of misunderstood dots, Im not being medicated to treat my bipolar , and again being told because im bipolar I have to remain in custody of my Aunts husband . I know im not mentally unstable, Yes I have been through undeniable traumatic episodes and its put a block on my ability to express myself and make friends longer then a couple months , I feel if I don't grab this mental health act supposedly keeping me legally detained without my consent is going to kill me , I feel if I don't escape this trap soon , ill give in and end in a messy situation .
