I discovered my therapist was reporting all my secrets back to my uncle’s wife.
I detail the whirlwind of depression and trauma that consumed me, as well as the crushing social pressure of a society that did not accept me and did not want me. All this together was a devastating weight to bear, and my young mind couldn’t handle it. After a series of incidents, including a drug overdose, my family shoved me into therapy. It wasn’t long after I began therapy that I discovered my therapist was reporting all my secrets back to my uncle’s wife, who always had it out for me.
Learning to trust again is a difficult task, especially concerning mental health. Because my depression and PTSD went untreated for so long, I suffered for it. My mental health deteriorated quickly, and as an adult it has been a brutal slog to repair some of that deeply entrenched damage. It is also crucial to establish a support system outside of therapy. Once I began to understand my past traumas had to be confronted, I was able to talk with close friends before seeking out therapy. Of course, they couldn’t provide the professional level of care that I needed, but it was a start. It was a way for me to acknowledge my mental health issues and to feel heard.
