Hi all, This seems to becoming a huge problem amongst our society and I feel that help doesn't get to where is required most of the time. Some people shut themselfes in their house, their bedroom and don't talk to anyone about the issues that are affecting them, and why do they shut themselfes out from society, from seeing their friends, etc... Others are getting bullied/discriminated at work/school and feel they can't do nothing about it and don't seek help, or feel embarassed/afraid to talk about it... Can any of you feel connected to any of the things I mention above or know someone that does feel/behave like this in your friends/family etc?Let me tell you a bit about me... I went through hell in the past 3 years at my work and on the street and bars etc... Since day 1, I been a victim at work, walking on the street, being at a bar of racist comments, discrimination and bullying based on the fact that I'm originally from Portugal but live in Scotland, UK for the past 8 years...and still I get abuse everywhere I go... Was off work for more then 8 months due to GAD (General Anxiety Disorder). I took me a while to overcome my fears, feelings, anger (sometimes reacted very violent) and what I used to overcome this, will not discuss it because It might be consider advertising, but it was the worst 3 years of whole my life...and I find out that are loads of people living in same or similar hell and don't know what to do. My first advice is...talk to someone about it, say how you feel about it, detail by detail, don't be afraid, talk to someone that will really listen to what you have to say. I always felt that everyone in this world deserves to be here, in planet earth as much as anybody else, no one is above no one, all of us are same especies, Humans, that's it, whatever color, whatever background, whatever religion, it doesn't matter... WE ALL HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS. Just thought I shared a bit of my own story, as I'm happy to have defeated my GAD and today I ignore all these people that still behave disrespectfully towards other people like they are something special. Well, they aren't, just ignorants! and I leave you with my last comment but in a certain way, a funny one ( and expected i suppose). You know what a police officer from Scotland told me when I said to him that I just been a victim of racist abuse?? He said to me " Don't raise your voice to me, do you understand?" anything about the racist abuse??? Well, I leave you to figure it out what was the answer to that one....
