Looking for opinion

eved

Hi

Not sure if this is the place to be asking this but i just need an opinion on what i could do, basically when i was younger i was bubbly outgoing and loved everything, the health board got involved with our family when i was about 9 or 10, i was always happy growing up and didn't see any problems at home, our parents didnt always get on but it never bothered us to be honest, i hated when social workers would visit our home, eventually me and my 2 brothers were put into foster care for 6 months, this had a huge impact on everything about me as a person i was never the same after and now i panic in certain situations and i am generally a very nervous person. The night they came and took us away from our home i was never so shaken up, and now i am 22 and it still affects me. I feel like the HSE owe me for this, i feel they are responsible for the struggles i go through, i haven't ever spoken of the effect it has had on me to anyone. I just feel that the health board should be held responsible for it, i am not looking for legal advice just an opinion or info if there is something i should do about this.
Thanks in advance.

Your best course of action would be to try to overcome the feelings that trouble you, perhaps your doctor could advise. The HSE would not have removed you from home lightly, so I am sure they were doing what they thought best at the time.

I think you should seek help from a counsellor/therapist.

Try googling "counselling and psychotherapy" and you'll find plenty of suitable people to talk to.
I wish you well and I hope things work out for you.
