Just thinking a lot about how I was treated as a kid

I’d like to start this thread off with saying hello and thank you for allowing me to even post this sort of content without it being removed, I don’t like complaining about the internet but I’ve spent a very unhealthy amount of time on similar forums and whenever I bring up suicide, child abuse and or self harm I always get banned or just wiped off the site.

This was all very long ago and I don’t live with my parents anymore, I am living it up in a cold mould stricken flat now, first and foremost I never really had any friends besides the occasional shop keeper or lunch lady they only really acknowledged my existence and would give me lots of free food because I am and was even more poor as teen/pre teen, I hated high school the most out of every part of my life it was constant mockery of me at one point I was soaked in water and had all my clothes ripped and torn and my school bag stolen and again I am poor so I wore the ripped up clothes for the next few months, I was mostly just beaten up sometimes to blood but not always a favourite of some of my favourite sadists was locking me in a room mostly storage closets they would gang up on me and drag me in there and lock me in I have no clue how they even acquired a key in the first place honestly.

The verbal and emotional abuse was the worst I couldn’t even walk by someone without hearing them snicker, the teachers were the same I would always just cry in a corner at lunch/intermission and it was nice because I was left alone it was involuntary crying so it’s not like I could stop, the funniest part was the fact the guidance teacher would call me names whenever she saw me it was always something like “you scruffy ****” or just a series of ews and yucks you could hear.

Family life was far from ideal I won’t dig into it too deep but it was worse than school both of my parents loved narcotics, so I never got any sleep or rest until I moved out and now I am just haunted, I can’t focus or think straight I just hate having my brain in my head.

I tried going to college but it felt too much like my old high school I even tried speaking to some people I noticed a guy wearing a fallout shirt and I love that series so I sat besides him and tried to speak about fallout with him and he literally just ignored me got up and walked away, i felt kind of shit after but it wasn’t the worse afterwards the same guy and some of his friends flung some wet paper at me when I was sitting down I just quit after that.

I tried a lot of ways to try and make relationships with other people but none of them have worked really, I haven’t had a romantic or platonic connection/relationship with another person ever, it’s probably to do with me as a person I don’t really know about many mainstream things I like extremely niche things but I have expanded my knowledge and understanding on a lot of things and to no avail.

I could write paragraph after paragraph about this all but I don’t want to dwell on it too much, I am just kind of reaching out for advice I live in constant agony it feels like a knife has been stuck in my stomach it’s very sharp and debilitating is there any ways to dampen this feeling without using substances prescribed or not and just a little side note I don’t want any of you to feel bad for me or anything it’s just things that have happened and I’ve just accepted them and the things that still happen I am just looking for advice on my current situation.

Hello and welcome Legate!

thank you for allowing me to even post this sort of content without it being removed, I don’t like complaining about the internet but I’ve spent a very unhealthy amount of time on similar forums and whenever I bring up suicide, child abuse and or self harm I always get banned or just wiped off the site.
Oh, no thanks needed, this is what SF is for. I'm sorry that folks at other sites weren't kinder, I wish they had been.

You're welcome to say more if you'd like, but it's also ok if you'd rather not.

I'm sorry that you suffered so much abuse. It seems like you were surrounded by cruelty, it must have been awful. Sometimes people suffer abuse, but they've got that one friend or relative who was kind to them. I'm glad you at least saw some kindness from the occasional lunch lady or shop keeper, but that's really not enough. You were very strong to have survived what you did, and what you suffered seems to me to be monumentally unfair.

You might want to get that checked by a doctor if you haven't already. Does the pain have a hot or cold quality, or no particular temperature?

This link (all links here are to pages on SF) might be helpful, but cost could be a limitation:
Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture, World's Second Largest Medical System

These self-treatments might help:
Self-Treatment and Miscellaneous

If you're from the UK, this list of suicide respite houses might be useful:

A respite house might might also be able to connect you to some housing resources. Living in a cold moldy flat doesn't sound good. If you could find the right flatmates, you might be able to get much better living conditions for the same cost.

There's some additional self-treatment methods that I could recommend, but I'd need a little more info about the pain in your stomach that you feel.

I hope something can help.
