I was diagnosed with a mental health problem back in 2017, and as a result of this problem and domestic violence I experienced, I became really isolated and alienated from my friends and family. My siblings were behind the domestic violence and they basically beat me up and then I ended up becoming unwell and having a psychotic episode a couple months later.
I became distant from my best friend from school as a result of everything I was going through and now I want to reach out to her again. I feel like my sister has put this idea that I am 'crazy' to our family and friends circle and to my best friend too. I spoke to my best friend's sister at the time of when I was struggling with my mental health, only to find out she spoke behind my back and judged me for having the mental illness.
At the moment, I'm feeling a lot lot better than I was when I was unwell and I can speak up for myself. I just wanted to ask should I reach out to my best friend and clear my name etc?
I appreciate this is probably not enough information, but the main thing that's going on here is that I am isolated and alienated from society and my friends/family because of my sister and her evil behaviour and I wanted to ask if I should make the effort to speak to my best friend and tell the truth about what my family did to me and what caused the mental illness or is it not worth it? Because I feel like they might have chosen to judge me anyway
Also, with my best friend I used to get really negative vibes from her about how she perceived my illness and how she used to treat me prior to when I was diagnosed so I'm not even sure if she's a good person herself. I just feel so lonely and isolated and want everyone to know what really happened to me.
I hope this makes some sense, feel free to ask me questions if there are gaps and you need to understand more!
