I was ****ed up as a kid but it was from emotional neglect. When my dad died when I was ten I went into depression where I wouldn’t shower or wash my clothes for days and skipped school as much as possible. Sixth grade was equally as bad, I didn’t comb my hair and suffer d extreme separation anxiety from my mom. Got bullied in middle school because of it. But in seventh grade I had a complete switch. I got my hair cut, bought some new clothes, and became the happiest I had ever been. First hypomania? Maybe so.

Then it all went to hell in eighth grade.
