Hey :) I am Chanel, 18 from the UK.
Long story short, I am a victim of child neglect at the hands of my stepdad and mam, my younger siblings where victims too.
My stepdad got 1 year jail and he is set free January 2016, my mam got 180 community service.
My siblings are in foster care about 2 hours away from me but I get to visit them whenever I can. The foster family is amazing :)
I suffer from anxiety, paranoia and I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD
(post-traumatic-stress-disorder)
I can get really depressed and I often have thoughts about harming myself or even suicidal thoughts.
I have been in counselling and I am currently in therapy.
I have joined this site in the hopes of meeting new people and having someone to talk to.
Thanks :D

Hi Chanel & welcome to NMP :welcome:
I hope you find all the support you wish for on here and maybe make some friends too and have a laugh.
There are 2 women on here that I've seen talk about problems with parents, although not abuse from what I saw, but maybe they will know a bit about how you feel?
It's great to here your siblings have a good foster family. I bet that helps you to knowing they are well looked after and benefitting from some caring people to help them rebuild their lives?
Hi Chanel,so sorry to hear what you have been through. It is normal that you have anxiety and PTSD but you sound like a really strong person and I'm sure you will get better. Welcome xxx
