Let's share our stories.
I keep going into depression because my mother emotionally abuses me.
This really affects my routine.

For example: on Tuesday, I had a mental breakdown during a train journey. I began crying in the train and tried to hide my tears from other passengers. Then, I ran home and went to sleep. I was asleep all evening and because I was asleep all evening, I was then awake all night. That really messed up my routine, my sleeping pattern. I couldn't even eat my dinner that night.

I was awake all night and didn't feel sleepy until 1 am then I had to wake up at 6 am just after 5 hours of sleep to get to uni.

My train journey takes 2 hours. Usually, I use to wake up at 6 am and leave the house at 7 am the latest but now I have leaving the house at like 7:30 and I have been getting late to my 9 am lectures twice in a row.

My sleeping pattern has been ruined. I go to sleep when I get home and then I don't feel sleepy at night, which makes it really difficult to wake up at 6 am.

Today, it's Friday. I have the weekend ahead to sort myself out and my sleeping pattern.

I really hope things will get better from Monday and on Monday I will get to my 9 am lecture on time.

Thanks to mom, I got depression that ruined my sleeping pattern and eventually my punctuality. She is a curse and a bad omen in my life, who always ruins everything when life is going well.

how do you honestly feel about people who have mental illnesses?

What happens if when they were a child and even as an adult they are being abused and that's why they have these mental illnesses? would you pity them? Feel sorry for them? Or tell them to just grow up, it's not like it's the end of the world or something.

Abuse can be emotional, psychological and verbally too... not just physically.

If you take into consideration the amount of mental damage and exhaustation bullying can do to someone's own well-being and even health, I'm wondering if this can be abuse too? Those that suffered years humiliation and torment at school may still be affected till this day. Some have even committed suicide in the recent years and that's no laughing matter.

Abuse is destructive to the body, mind and soul and honestly that's what bullying is doing too. What do you think? Should bullying also be considered abuse?
