Description

For a project in my psychology class about Erikson's Stages of Development. We had to write about our life in each stage and have an appropriate image. All anatomy is based off my own at that age, as well as how rats develop.

I said:
"I was betrayed by my only friend at the age of 12, and then later my closest friend at 14. As a result I was admitted to a mental hospital due to one of my personalities – and as an extension, myself – admitting suicidal desires. There, my personalities and I fused, and I was diagnosed with depression. I began to see a counselor, and still do to this day. I tried morphing myself to what I perceived those around me to need, believing that I served no other purpose due to my low self-worth. I later realized I needed to preserve myself first to be useful to anyone. I went from Christianity, to deism, to agnostic atheist from ages 14-17. I was raped at 16, but it wasn’t as bad as some victims’ experiences, because he didn’t do it for power: he thought a females’s first time would hurt no matter what. I also discovered the name of my sexuality, sexual identity, and gender. I learned that some people aren’t worth my time nor attention, and found my drive for being alive in helping those I love, as well as not wanting to depress them. Eventually, I desired to live purely for myself, because I want to see how humanity would advance. I would come to identify as agender, neutrois, demisexual, panromantic, agnostic atheist, and seek to become an art teacher."
