My experience with mental health has strongly influenced my relationships and career aspirations. Dealing with depression and PTSD has deeply impacted how i can communicate with others. Dealing with my metal health has forced me to distance myself from everyone and has forced me to not trust anyone. Dealing with mental health my whole life has made me realize how important therapists are and how much impact they have on people's life. They are people that affects people's life for the better every single day Little by little the therapists ive had had impacted me more and more every day. I am now sixteen still dealing with mental health problems trying to figure out coping skills for the future when i get into college. Due to me having to have many therapists throughout the years this impacted my career aspirations. I knew from a very young age i wanted to be like the people that would help me deal with things and would make me feel safe. I knew i wanted to have this impact on other peoples life. I want to become a therapist and help people with their mental health. I got baptized when i was a very young girl. I grew up going to church every single week. When i was 10 my depression was very severe. I grew up believing in god until i was eight. At ten years old i started losing motivation to do the little things. This meant i didn't want to go to church. I started losing faith rapidly. I remember always thinking if there really was a god why would he force me to struggle like this. I would go to church with my family but i never felt like i was truly there. Everything they said would just not stay in my head all i wanted to do was go home and stay in my bed. Due to this my parents would always be annoyed at me questioning their religion. My mental health was so bad i couldn't stay believing in someone when im feeling this down. My mental health influenced every single thing in my life. As much as this influence sounds bad im happy it happened. I realized what i wanted to be at a young age because of all the struggles i had to go through at a young age. It shaped me into the woman i am now. My mental health problems have made me into the girl i am now with goals to help with peoples mental health.
