To that I can give you a glimpse into my life, Psychreg.org has written a part of my life story. We all have our own unique journeys and we are a resilient specie, self and potential are endless discoveries. You might fall down! Stand up! But do it again, and again, and again!

‘‘Growing up without support, feeling like an alien, and having to fend for herself at a young age left deep imprints on her character. Larisa’s childhood was marred by violent arguments and a mentally abusive father who physically harmed her mother. At the age of 13, overwhelmed by it all, she resorted to a suicide attempt by taking a large quantity of pills. With no safety net, opportunities, or emotional support, she had to adapt to a life of self-preservation.

Her school years were equally challenging, marked by physical assaults and relentless criticism. She was even forced to switch from her natural left-handedness to using her right hand. Determined to change her circumstances, she embarked on a journey of self-improvement. At 19, she began studying accountancy and law on her mother and father’s wishes, finding that was not her calling; at 20, she chose psychology and sociology.

However, she faced homelessness after an abusive relationship, forcing her to work three jobs seven days a week just to make ends meet. She endured racism and abuse while striving to build a better future. The burden of it all seemed never-ending, but her job in hospitality provided glimmers of hope.
