Thank you, I was really impressed reading your title post , that explains, Childhood is indeed the foundation for our future behaviour,.. based on what I read, Shehnaaz clearly didn't have a safe, protected Childhood, that probably is the root cause of many of the behaviours she exhibits, it gives solace to my heart, that there is someone besides me , who is able to look into her traumatic past, defining her present, especially given she is begging people not yo give her that tag and especially indulging in self harm to counter the agonising memories
I see patients who present with deliberate self harm cutting themselves to taking overdoses to numb the pain of their past, like abuse, domestic violence, rape etc ...
I'm confident once she has a secure career, and steady income, her insecurities will hopefully fade and she will be strong to face the demons/ memories from.tge past affecting her present ...
I wish the society behaves in much more civil way and has compassion and empathy for people suffering with MHI, it's a very long distant dream, the way I can see and understand , feels skin to stoning a person for MHI 😭
