What didn't help?

My parents were at work all the time - I was alone a lot of the time.

I was babied by my family. I would have liked an energetic approach, not a morbid state - energy reflects energy".  

Sentences such as: "I'm an energy vampire"; "Act normal"; "I talk too much".

Nobody listens, we are not equal, adults don't listen to us.

No one took my concerns seriously.

I talked to the school psychologist about my concerns - the talk went around the school.

I didn't trust adults because they didn't keep their promises.

Everybody asks you why you did it - that's an assessment in itself.

Mum is too worried and that's why I don't talk to her very much about my problems.

There was contact with different staff at school - I don't feel that they were very helpful. Rather, they were intimidating and I was scared that I would be sent to a special school.

No one dealt with me in depth or focused on helping.
