Mental Health

I had had many issues with self-confidence in the past because of issues I had had with one of my adopted siblings. My parents adopted my two sisters when I was in 8th grade. One of my sisters was my age with the same name, that was just spelt differently. Last year my family went through an issue with a sister of the same age. She had begun a major habit of lying, accusing multiple people with life damaging lies. She was mentally and physically abusive towards my siblings and I as well. She had been tearing me down, calling me names, making comments on the way I looked, telling me things about myself to make me hate the way I looked. The lies she had made and the reports of her abusing my siblings and I, resulted in CPS coming to my home and upon realizing she was in trouble for these things, she created more lies. That issue resulted in my sister being taken to a facility for 9 Months. Before I had become extremely dependent on her, mostly because she made me think I needed her and couldn't be my own person. During those 9 months she was gone, I was able to rediscover the person I am and not the person I was forcing myself to be for her. I was able to include myself In things that help other people and the world around me.

 I have been able to make myself into a better person who is focused on doing whatever it takes to achieve the things I want to in life because I know I am better than the person she made me into. I have since grown to love myself and my body more, making me grow as a person. I am also big on helping others and doing anything I can to achieve what I want to achieve.
