trace your steps five years back and i dropped out in the second year of a university course because of the pressure socially and academically became quite overwhelming, so for the rest of the year i would turn up to the library and not attend classes thinking that the next day i'd turn up, this gave everyone around me the impression i was still attending the course but really it was all a cover. i felt to afraid to admit i dropped out and let it linger on and on and on. absolutely crazy looking back it at. i even created fake results at the end of the year to give the impression i had passed. just incredible to think i behaved that way. at the same time i was on a study benefit so i had to pay a debt back to the government and that could have lead to a court appearance all because of what i can only describe as intense agrophobia symptoms of not wanting to be seen by people and just feeling like hiding away. so i was being dishonest every day. i mean it happened for a reason but the behaviour was way out of order. i think that the years from a young age of anxiety and pressure simply blew up in my face and thats how i handled it. and not talking to anyone didnt really help me out of the situation.
Hmm, i can't really pinpoint just one bad thing that's happened. So many things happend during my childhood, alot of physical, sexual and emotional abuse.
I guess for me though this is the worse because i'll never know what happend to the photos ...
When i was around 8 years old, a trusted friend of the family who even took a baby video of me from when i was born til about two years old ... took me upto his room to take pornographic pictures of me and wanting to do 'other stuff'. I still don't know til this day if he deleted the photos or still has them and it haunts me everyday of my life wondering if sick people out there are 'getting off' over my 8 year old body. I want to go to the police and tell them what happend but i have no evidence, only memories. Plus, they let me down once before when i was younger.
No offense to anyone but do we really need this thread?
Because this place can be depressing enough as it is.Why not?..

I find this thread sort of helpful in a way. It allows me to see how small my own problems really are. My heart goes out to everyone.
My "worst" story is very similar to yours, mrb....wife leaving me, kids crying, etc. Still working on getting this sorted out.
