I had delusions and hallucinations and mania and depression when my teeth had malocclusion. As soon I fixed the problem somehow through constant research and consultation I realised them as not part of me and I felt I need to start a new life altogether that never goes back to old self.

As a teenager, I ran away from home to escape physical abuse. I ran about 1 kilometer to a neighbor’s house and asked that they call the police. The police came, interviewed everyone in my house, and I was sent off to a group home. I was there for almost 2 years. The police did nothing about the abuse, but the whole town knew what happened and my father was shunned by everyone. Not long after the group home I moved into my own place. Starting with the beginning of the abuse through the time I moved to my own place, the entire experience was a disaster and very painful emotionally.

I get this thoughts as adult didn’t as kid or teenager. But I can’t runaway from myself. Even if I do it is not easy. There are CCTVs in most places. It is relatively easier finding missing person these days.

I ran away from home and spent a lot of money on myself. I used to spend very lavishly buying loans. It was due to mania. It was all new to me. I researched and found that it was a symptom. I kept running away from problems at the same time tried to solve the problem. Now I realised and regretful and at the same time want to correct it by doing right things the right way.
