Recommended: Effects of childhood abuse to adulthood

When I was young I had multiple insane thoughts and beliefs. I would describe myself as crazy, slothful, and a total run around maniac. I remember that I would never stay put therefore my mother awarded me with extra gaming time if I remained silent. I had multiple fun times with my brothers. My older brother, younger brother and I had a great bonding despite the fact that we attacked each other every day. One sad event that occurred partially because of me was when my younger brother Asjadh and I were playing tag around a pointy table and my brother accidentally slipped and his forehead was in serious injury. My parents consumed the whole entire day in the emergency and I kept on crying and blaming myself ( I STILL DO). Various incidents

  • How Do People Deal With Past Uncertainties?

    843 Words  | 2 Pages

    In my early years, I once tried to deal with my past ambiguities through the imobile loop of thought. It started on my mothers birthday in February when we just came home from an amazing trip to Jasper. After we finished unloading our bags, my dad asked me if I would like to park the van and of course I was ecstatic to do so. Most of the time my older siblings would be picked so I jumped on every opportunity to prove myself. As I hopped in the van the bright idea came to me that I should slam on the breaks right when I wanted to stop. When the moment came to push on the brake pedal as hard as I could, I missed and hit the gas. The van went straight through the garage door and moved the wall. For the next several months I was locked in the cycle of thinking about the past. I would not let my parents talk to me because how would they help me to realize why I missed the break pedal? Also during this several month period after, nothing seemed to make me happy. We would go skiing and my siblings would come back grinning, but all I could think about was why I went through that damn garage door. I even missed the time when the sky was so clear that apparently Mount Robson was visible from the top of MArmot Basin. My head was too busy looking at my feet feeling bad for what i've done. I was stuck in this loop for a very long time. Replaying that portion over and over in my mind like a video

  • History of Mental Illness

    1507 Words  | 4 Pages

    History shows that signs of mental illness and abnormal behavior have been documented as far back as the early Greeks however, it was not viewed the same as it is today. The mentally ill were previously referred to as mad, insane, lunatics, or maniacs. W.B. Maher and B.A. Maher (1985) note how many of the terms use had roots in old English words that meant emotionally deranged, hurt, unhealthy, or diseased. Although early explanations were not accurate, the characteristics of the mentally ill have remained the same and these characteristics are used to diagnose disorders to date. Cultural norms have always been used to assess and define abnormal behavior. Currently, we have a decent understanding of the correlates and influences of mental illness. Although we do not have complete knowledge, psychopathologists have better resources, technology, and overall research skills than those in ancient times.

  • Abnormal And Abnormal Behavior

    853 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I think of abnormal behavior, the first thing that comes to mind is one of my aunt’s. She committed suicide when I very young, so early 1970’s. As I got older, inevitably stories of her would arise during holiday get togethers. She was married with three children and in her early thirties, residing in Florida, when she walked out and away from her husband and small children. For over a year, no one knew what happened to her, she made no effort to contact anyone. Eventually, the Salvation Army somewhere in Michigan called my grandmother and they sent her home on a bus. She never returned to her husband or children. The doctors diagnosed her as a paranoid schizophrenic. My mother told me that when she was on her medication she was fine, but once she felt “fine”, she would stop her medication. When the medication left her system, she became anxious and afraid. She once chased my grandmother, who was in her late sixties down the driveway with an ax, because she thought her mother was trying to kill her. After several inpatient stays in mental hospitals, she came back home again and she was doing good. She left my grandmother’s one night while everyone was sleeping, made it approximately fifteen miles away to a lake.

    I'm a unique kind of weird. My weird stands for: wacky, exciting, interesting, random, different. I am all of those things. I'm wacky because I do outrages, never thought of before things. I'm exciting because I'm like a book you don't want to put down, you just want to find out more. I'm interesting because I do things differently from you. I'm random because out of nowhere I will ask a random question, or I would say something random. I'm different because I'm not you, I am me, and I don't want to be like you, I want to create my own life, my own story to tell my kids someday.

  • Personal Narrative: Who I Think I Am

    419 Words  | 1 Pages

    Who I think I am? I’m not exactly sure who I think I am or how to describe who I think I am. I tend to act differently around certain people. Constantly changing to try to seek approval. Constantly in fear of accidentally doing something wrong; that I might say something wrong and all my friends will abandon me or leave me for someone better. I think this fear came from when my best friend was taken from me. I had known her since preschool, but she had met another girl and she stopped talking to me completely. I’m in constant fear that this will happen to me again, so I struggle to be accepted. I don’t want to be forgotten again.

    Mental health complications are common personal traits in human beings. However, there are those that are implausibly real, though they are quite rare to find. Such unusual features include voices, visions, and multiple personalities. According to psychiatrists who will be mentioned in this paper, these psychological disorders are caused by high levels of stress or traumatic situations that happen in the victims ' lives. Voices and visions are sometimes normal dissociations that fade away quickly without the need to see a mental specialist. Nevertheless, those who acquire prolonged dissociations are said to have mental disorders, which make the victim 's life quite a struggle. Although mental health aberrations are not easy to encounter, numerous

  • How I Overcame Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

    It had come to the attention of my family that I had some sort of psychological problem and something had to be done. I was always labeled as a shy and quiet kid, and like my family I had thought nothing more of my behavior. However, now it had become something more obvious. I had told my parents the kinds of problems I was having. Basically I didn't want to talk to anyone or to be anywhere near anyone I didn't know. I didn't really want to leave my house for any reason for fear that I might have to talk to someone. I was so critical and scrutinizing in relation to myself that I couldn't even enter into a conversation. Everyone seems to have a part of themselves that lends itself to thoughts of pessimism and failure, but mine was something that was in the forefront of my mind at all times. Something telling me that everything I did was a failure, and that anything I ever did would not succeed. Through discussion with my family it was decided that I should move out of my parents house to a place where I could find treatment and get a job. I was to reside with my sister Lisa, her partner Brynn, and their Saint Bernard in Greensboro.

I looked up at her, my eyes were blood shot from crying and my hair ran down the side of my face limply. She gave me a worried look and said, “Esther… I need you to be strong now, your mom has a mental illness, and needs special care. You now have to live with another mommy. I am Ms.Banulous, your social worker.” From that moment, my life began again.

    At some point in life it is inevitable to be faced with an emotional situation in which you are blessed that you can’t respond immediately. This may be due to time, distance, or some other circumstance that prevents you from being able to act on your gut reaction. Such is the case when I was deployed for a month-long work assignment in Scotland. My beloved boss Bill did what he had been threatening to do for the last four years, retire. I knew it would happen at some point and time. Nonetheless, when it did, the eight-hour time change between Phoenix and Glasgow was a blessing in disguise. The time difference allowed time for me to think and respond versus not think and react. This was especially important because
