Discussion Does anyone get upset after they see a photo or video of themselves as a child?

[Die.A.Ria]

My dad just sent me a video of myself when i was about like 4 years old and it just made me cry so bad because in the video i was so happy and it was genuine and it made me feel so upset that her life has to end this way and what she had to go through

And it made me feel even more bad for my dad because i love him so much he truly cared about me and seeing him in the video too being so happy made me cry even more because of how bad i feel that his first child has to kill herself. i feel so guilty

it makes me worse, but for a different reason. i was happier then, obviously, but my parents loved me more back then too..

Yeah. My mom showed me a pic at 2 years old in the lap of my grandpa and it caused me to weep. Such an innocent happy kid turned into... This? Yeah it was rough to see that.

At least my parents have already passed, but yes.

It sucks seeing that blissfully ignorant child with grand dreams. I think at every stage of my life I before mental illness struck, I had something to work towards and make life seem fulfilling. I'd give anything to go back.

So much potential and so much possibilities that isn't this current pathetic mess…
