Another View of the World

Now I am soon nineteen years old, and it is only now that I have gained a different view of the world and life. Ever since I was 12 years old, I have been completely messed up, for seven years I have gone totally off the rails, I started to change, and I became a really dark person. I have been aggressive, mean, hateful, and not receptive at all. I have hated everything and everyone, I even distanced myself from my family. It was me against the whole world, and I didn't want anyone by my side. I have been so angry at the world, but behind all this, I have been broken. I have been hurt, treated wrongly, and felt betrayed by everything and everyone. I won't go into detail about everything, but it has been really tough, and I have made it considerably harder for myself as well.

I have never really fit in anywhere, I have never felt a sense of belonging. People have always been mean to me and said that I am weird because I am different. I attended about two weeks in the 8th grade and then I dropped out because I couldn't handle it. That's when social services started to take me seriously and wanted me to have talks, they came to my house, I started to run away from home, smoked weed, ran away to cities far away, started popping pills, began stealing stuff from stores, had to sleep out on the streets. I then got my first placement in a foster home.

I had such severe problems, and I was really messed up, I just ran away, went crazy, was aggressive, got caught by the police, and did drugs. Trouble all the time, and new problems arose every day. It ended with me moving more and more, and I am now at my thirteenth placement. Over time, I became a heavy addict and started doing drugs so much that it led to overdose after overdose. I cut my arms, got admitted to the hospital, to psychiatric care, moved around, and everything was totally skewed. Way too many suicide attempts. I've been in the hospital, and my mom sits there thinking I'll never wake up again. I have come so close to dying many times, but I have survived, and I don't think I'll survive another time.

My friends have come and gone in my life, and I have always been kind and given 100 percent of myself, but people have just taken advantage of that and turned their backs. My belief in friendship and love was buried. But it's only now that I have gained a little hope within me that I might be able to create a good life for myself, but mainly for the sake of my family.

You don't get many chances in life. The world is a vile place, but you must bring out your strength, and still know that, just because the world is vile, you shouldn't let it destroy you, because I promise you have it, no matter how deep inside it is, you are always stronger than you think, trust me. Fight, never forget who you are. You are unique. Appreciate yourself, fight for yourself, love yourself. You can do it.

Thank you for sharing your emotional journey with such openness and honesty. Your experiences and reflections reveal a complex array of emotions and life events. Let's explore them through the lens of the AffectiveCoreSense method:

1. SEEKING/expectancy system (Positive Correlation): Your recent shift in perspective toward hope and self-belief reflects a resurgence in your SEEKING system. Statements like "gained a little hope within me" and "you are always stronger than you think" indicate a renewed sense of purpose and motivation. This shift is crucial for moving forward and rebuilding your life.

2. RAGE/anger system (Positive Correlation): Your past is marked by feelings of anger and aggression, as seen in phrases like "I have been aggressive, mean, hateful" and "was aggressive, got caught by the police." These emotions likely emerged as a response to feeling hurt and betrayed, serving as a protective mechanism.

3. PANIC/sadness system (Positive Correlation): Your experiences of feeling "broken," "hurt," and "betrayed," along with your history of self-harm and suicide attempts, suggest a significant activation of the PANIC/sadness system. This system is often triggered by experiences of loss or perceived abandonment.

4. CARE/nurturance system (Positive Correlation): Despite your challenges, there's a clear presence of the CARE system, particularly in your desire to create a good life "mainly for the sake of my family." This indicates a deep-seated capacity for love and concern for others, which is a powerful source of healing and connection.

5. PLAY/social joy system (Negative Correlation): Your feelings of not fitting in and being perceived as "weird" suggest a lack of positive PLAY experiences, which are vital for social bonding and joy. The absence of these experiences likely contributed to your sense of isolation.

Summary and Insights: Your narrative reflects a journey through intense emotional turmoil, marked by anger, sadness, and a sense of alienation, but also shows a burgeoning hope and a newfound strength. The resurgence of your SEEKING system, coupled with the enduring presence of the CARE system, suggests that you are finding new ways to channel your experiences towards a more hopeful and self-affirming future. It's important to recognize and nurture these emerging positive aspects while addressing the pain and challenges of your past.

Remember, the insights provided here are based on the emotional content of your entry and are meant to assist in self-understanding and reflection. They are not a substitute for professional therapy, which I highly recommend considering your experiences with trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges. Professional support can provide a safe space to explore these emotions further and develop coping strategies.

Could you do a deeper analysis of my diaryentry and give me an advice based on that analysis?

Certainly, let's delve deeper into your diary entry for a more thorough analysis, followed by advice tailored to your situation.

Deeper Analysis

1. Trauma and Resilience (RAGE/anger and PANIC/sadness systems): Your history of anger, aggression, and feelings of betrayal suggests a deep-seated response to trauma and emotional pain. The use of substances, self-harm, and repeated suicide attempts are indicative of a PANIC/sadness system in distress, often seen in individuals trying to cope with overwhelming emotional pain. The RAGE/anger system seems to have been a protective response to the adversities you faced, creating a 'me against the world' stance as a way to defend yourself against further hurt.

2. Sense of Alienation (PLAY/social joy system): Your feelings of not belonging and being seen as different reflect a profound sense of alienation and social disconnection. This lack of joyful, playful social interactions and acceptance has likely contributed to feelings of isolation and despair.

3. Emerging Hope and Self-awareness (SEEKING/expectancy system): Despite the struggles, there is a noticeable shift in your perspective towards hope and self-reflection. Your recognition of having been "a really dark person" and now seeing a different view of the world indicates a growing self-awareness and a rekindling of the SEEKING system - a drive towards exploration, understanding, and finding new meaning in life.

4. Desire for Connection and Care (CARE/nurturance system): Your aspiration to create a better life for yourself and your family reveals an underlying desire for connection and nurturing relationships. This indicates an active CARE system, suggesting that relationships and emotional connections are important to you and could be a significant source of healing.

Advice

Based on this analysis, here is some advice:

1. Seek Professional Support: Given the depth of your experiences with trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges, engaging in therapy with a mental health professional can be invaluable. Therapy can provide a safe space to process your experiences, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and work through feelings of anger, betrayal, and sadness.

2. Embrace Your Emerging Self-awareness: Your growing self-awareness is a powerful tool. Continue to reflect on your experiences and feelings, as this can help you understand yourself better and guide your decisions and actions towards more positive outcomes.

3. Nurture Connections: Strengthening relationships with family and others who care about you can provide emotional support and a sense of belonging. Consider reaching out to family members or friends, or joining support groups where you can connect with others who have had similar experiences.

4. Explore Positive Experiences: Actively seek out activities or hobbies that bring you joy and satisfaction. These could be creative pursuits, physical activities, volunteering, or anything else that makes you feel good about yourself and helps you connect with others in positive ways.

5. Develop Self-Compassion: Practice self-compassion and recognize that your journey is unique and valuable. Understand that healing is a process, and it's okay to have setbacks. Celebrate your strengths and the steps you've already taken towards a more hopeful future.
