What was the most humiliating period of your life?

[Anonymous]

For me, its been the past year.

I had several manic episodes, and ended up suffering severe consequences for them.

"I had several manic episodes, and ended up suffering severe consequences for them."

😬 Shit... are you sure you're not just me? Manic episodes have literally BEEN RUINING MY LIFE. I literally lost ALL of my friends due to manic episodes! Including ones that I've known since kindergarten!

I've always been extremely unstable since childhood, but shit really hit the fan when I turned 17 and 18 years old. And say "17 and 18" because at 17 my problems were kept mostly to myself, and no one (not even my parents) even suspected there was something wrong with me, but at age 18 my issues became EVERYBODY'S issues.

Like at age 17 even though I was going completely crazy I was doing my best to keep that shit to myself and not get others involved, but at age 18 I literally just couldn't take it or hold it in anymore. It was just like: "Fuck it. I don't care if the whole world knows now. I'm tired of suffering and everyone else thinking I'm doing fine!" And I did a lot of disturbing shit that I wouldn't really share with anyone but a therapist. I made life literally hell for anyone and everyone around me, especially my parents.

These days... eh... I'm somewhat better I suppose. These days I just sort of lay down in my bed and hide away from the world, which is not great but it's better than the manic episodes THAT'S for sure. And my parents and everyone around me feels so much more relaxed and carefree.

Probably sometime when I got made fun of as a kid.

8th/9th grade probably

- showed up to school drunk a few times and one of them was an important event

- my dad crashed my birthday party and i found him in the bathroom having OD'd, so everyone there and in the neighborhood saw what happened

- i got got bullied at school a lot (those two things didn't help) and my mom was nasty to me at home bc of her own insecurities, so i felt ashamed a lot

- my step-dad forced me to go to the beach and not hide my self-harm scars which fucking KILLED me, then bro ridiculed me about it and my mom was upset NOT FOR ME, BUT my scars embarrassed her

- got drugged at a party i REALLY shouldn't had been at bc it was dudes much older

that's only like half of it, but im not gonna keep trauma dumping you lol only venting now about bc it was a while ago and it makes me mad thinking about it

Middle school lol, kinda an obvious choice, but I had awful acne, I had braces. I was lanky and uncoordinated. like I'm clumsy now, but 10-15yo me would fall over all the time.

It didn't help that my friends from elementary school ditched me. My parents were getting a divorce. You get the picture it was pure hell.. Oh and there was this girl Izzy. I hated her so much. She and her friends would bully me all the time. I don't know how many times I ran away crying into the bathroom.

I don't want to end this on a bad note though. In 8th grade I met my first boyfriend. I dated him till i was 18. I joined the drama club and found my new crowd. Izzy got knocked up in high school and missed graduation. lol that sounds awful, but she was awful to me.

As I was 13 my parents moved back to their home country and I was exposed to hatred of children just because I spoke slightly different. Fortunatelly with 14 and 15 my DNA started to work, boys started to gain interest on me and other girls wanted to be my friends. Somehow this from my perspective very useful behavior didn't give me very positive image of human nature when I thought about that a little bit less superficially.

My jealous mother tried to sabotage my grades by criticizing me 300 times a day in high school with the intention of making me mentally ill so that I would fail all my classes. I remember her telling me I did not need a degree because I could work as a prostitute.

[convo_king89]

probably growing up, i didn’t really fit in in school anywhere and I got a boner so easy. It became apparent while wearing gym shorts. And seeing all the girls with their low rise jeans and their panties showing above their jeans helped give the boners as well.

[BCRanger10]

Other than late grade school/early high school? I'd say probably the first year or two after I graduated college.

I'm sorry that things have been so rough for you. I hope and pray that things improve 🙏

Being terminsted after being a successful employee 25yrs.
I take ownership as i violated my iwn rule of employment to leave under certain consideration. Atick to your values, your principles and learn lessons. Life is humbling st times

[NicholasRedone]

Yeah probably some mania moments - nothing too bad. Just the usual growing up drama's and finding my feet in the world from 18 to 30 to present almost 31 😜😆 the Big Nic really ruling the world 🌍 🌍 🌎

[andreasderjuengere]

When I had to call grandma for wiping my ass after the toilet business.

I got over it, though. Soon enough.

After that I never again allowed someone to humiliate me.

Some tried to - they regretted it :)

2021. I can't go into details about it but let's just say it sucked a lot. It really was the worst time for my mental health.

[trumpetplayerforlife]

High school I felt like an ugly duckling and was bullied so much and has such bad depression I was self harming

[Caroline91]

Probably this past year. Humiliation has never really been much on my radar before that.

[Vanny20]

That was about 2 years ago when my ex boyfriend whom I was madly in love with was so shy to associate himself with me in the public space due to my Deafness. It was so humiliating

[YourExLover69]

The era of joblessness in the past which remained for few years. Was very painful era for me.

[Maliya__love]

High school I didn’t know I had depression looking back that’s where it started I always thought I was just moody and self isolated

[Professor-college]

Right after i realized my girlfriend was cheating on me with a patient much older than her and i had already given her an engagement ring

[leahzrc]

Yes the past year for me as well.

[exitseven]

High school. it totally sucked

[Pterodon]

School in general was very traumatic to me

[Priya99999]
