Re: Younger the worse
I was at that age when my parents finally split after what felt like years of shouting and fights. That's when it all started for me I think. I kind of believe that a part of me is still 8, refusing to go past that point. And not coping with trying to act like an adult.
I feel for you bud.

Re: Younger the worse
I think if I was a child nowadays exhibiting the same behaviours as back then I would have come under a child psychologist/ around the age of 8 though even before then I was somewhat off key compared to my peers and siblings.
However back then(60's/70s) child mental health care wasn't what it is nowadays. I spent years being teased/ribbed and then actively bullied because I was physically and socially awkward and struggled to socially interact with others. What we now know as social anxiety made an appearance just before I was 14. That was followed by depression when I was 15-16. Came under a psychiatrist just before I was 17. First overdose when 18 and 2 months then 2 months later first hospitalisation and the initial diagnosis of schizophrenia. Looking back it's hard to pin point a time I was mentally healthy and not in some way dysfunctional. Been a psych patient for longer than many here have been alive (42 years) .
