I can totally relate. I'm only 24 and I've moved 32 times in my life. I went to three elementary schools, three middle schools and two high schools. Only made it to one homecoming, never had any graduation, and never had a friend for more than two years. We would move every year if not more.

It's really hard, to start over so much, rebuild your friend base and then have it all taken from you again. Don't let them take away your feelings, you have every right to feel the way you did and even if you had a squeeky clean life, it doesn't mean there isn't room for mental illness to some degree. If you need help then you need help, you don't have to have an excuse for it.

Sure there are people with harder childhoods, I myself was abused by more people than I can count until I was 22 years old, but there are millions of people who had it harder then me. Judging your mental state by how much "worse" others had it isn't helpful at all and has nothing to do with anything, it's your life not others.

If you feel you need help please seek it, it makes a world of difference.
