Hello there!
I'm a heart exploration coach, and I believe that learning is the treasure of the body.
From what you've told me, I can tell you're going through a rough patch. It's clear you're feeling unhappy, confused, like you want to cry, in pain and overwhelmed.
I don't want to get into all the nitty-gritty of your troubles caused by your personality and medication. I just want to give you three pieces of advice that I think could really help you.
First, I suggest you try to understand and accept your current state. I know it can be tough, but I'm here to help!
I know it might sound a little strange, but I promise you it will help! It will make your heart feel a little lighter, which will help you think about what to do next.
You told me that when you were a child, you were brought up by your grandmother, who loved you very much but had some personality issues. You didn't have many friends, felt insecure, and experienced school violence. In your third year of junior high school, you had a nervous breakdown. Later, due to medication, you found it difficult to get along with others comfortably. You're in pain and want to change. In fact, if someone else were in your situation, they would probably be just like you. Children who are doted on from a young age often have some personality issues. They may seem strong and tough, but they may be more fragile inside. Just like you, when you suffered from school violence, you were afraid to tell your teachers and parents, and you always cried. This may have been caused by being doted on. In addition, you have to take medicine for your nervous breakdown, and most drugs have side effects, which may also affect the way you get along with others. You also said that it is difficult to get along with people you dislike. Many people are like this because most people find it difficult to feel comfortable with people they don't like. So you have to try to understand yourself and comfort yourself. "See" the painful self inside who is very conflicted and uncomfortable, but temporarily doesn't know what to do. This will take your mind off other things, otherwise your brain will be filled with all kinds of negative emotions.
It's so important to give yourself the space to understand and accept yourself. This will help you to embrace change in your current situation. I know it might sound a little strange, but it's true! Change is all about allowing for no change.
Secondly, I'd like to suggest that you take a moment to view your own state in a rational way.
Because when you think things through, you can really get to know yourself and the world around you better.
I know it can be tough, but I'm here to help! A rational approach requires you to do two simple things:
It's so important to understand that your character can be changed, bit by bit.
I know it can be tough, but I promise you can overcome the negative impact of being spoiled as a child. With your own strong desire to change, your character will change too! And now that you're aware of the problem, you're already on your way to making a change.
The good news is that you can also gradually improve your ability to handle interpersonal relationships.
You can change, my friend. When you put your mind to it and take the initiative, your relationships with others will naturally change, too. You'll gradually get along better with yourself, and your emotions will become stable.
I really encourage you to focus on yourself and think about what you can do to feel better.
When you take a step back and look at things rationally, you might even know what to do. At this point, it's time to focus on yourself and give it your best shot.
For example, you can think about what you were thinking when you were crying. Think back. Was it a sense of grievance, worry, the effect of medication, etc.? Once you find the reason, you will likely know why you are emotionally unstable. And once you know why, you can find a solution that works for you!
Once you know why you always cry, it's time to find a way to deal with it. You've got this! You can look for external support systems, have a good chat with your trusted family and friends, and express your true thoughts. This will make you feel better, because once negative emotions start flowing, they have a healing effect. At the same time, you can also look at the good things about yourself and believe that you can become better. When you always positively suggest this to yourself, you may also become stronger inside, and your emotions will become stable. This is also slowly changing your character. If it is a drug-related cause, you can talk to your attending doctor to see if you can adjust or change your medication to improve the situation. You've got this!
It's also a great idea to look at those around you who seem to have a good handle on things emotionally. You can learn a lot from them, and you can also read some relevant books. For example, "Nonviolent Communication" may help you communicate with others and improve your interpersonal relationships. "Healing Your Inner Child" may help you better understand yourself, turn inward, slowly become stronger, and change your character.
You can also try lowering your expectations of how you get along with others. It's okay if you don't get along with everyone. We all have different personalities and that's perfectly fine! Instead of demanding that you get along with people you dislike, try being true to the people you want to get along with. You'll not only gain a good relationship, but you'll also feel better about yourself. And so on. In short, you need to know that you can do something to improve the situation.
I know it can be tough, but when you start taking action, all those negative emotions will start to melt away. Believe me, action is the best way to beat those negative feelings.
I really hope my answer helps you! If you'd like to chat some more, just click on "Find a coach to interpret – online conversation" at the bottom and I'll be happy to have a one-on-one conversation with you.

I can relate to feeling out of place during school years; it's comforting to know I'm not alone in those experiences.
It sounds like you've been through a lot, and it's understandable that you feel emotional. Finding strength in tough times is hard but important.
Your grandmother's love must have provided a solid foundation for you. It's touching how family support can mean so much.
The challenges from junior high must have been incredibly difficult. It's brave to confront those memories and work through them.
It's good that your father encourages looking forward. Sometimes focusing on the future can help us grow beyond past hardships.
