Hi, my name is Benedikt,
I grew up in a wealthy family in Germany with a great childhood as far as I can remember, but out of nowhere my parents divorced. The pain inside me was covered by the smile I put on because no one ever asked about how I felt. I actually never cried about it, and that’s how I became emotionally numb. A couple years later my dad kicked me and my sister out within 2 weeks because he wanted to move to Barcelona by the next month. These two incidents make it hard for me to believe that someone actually cares about or even loves me. My ways to prove my worth to anybody often leads to depressive episodes.
I‘m in therapy now and learning how I can work my way out.
I know that most are even worse off, but keep in mind that the first step is the most important.
-Bene
