I have a theory...

[[Cl...]]

...I think that people that have problems such as stress, anxiety, depression or mental illnesses like those, are either the oldest among her brothers and/or sisters or the one before the youngest (if our parents have 3 or more children).

So, I would like to know if this is true, what order are you in age in your family?

 

I am the oldest

 

Thank you!

[[li...]]

Only child. 

[Guest [jc...]]

I'm the fifth out of 8 kids.  I know that my father had problems with panic attacks and 5 of my other siblings have had anxiety issues, although they did not resort to medication as far as I know.

[[Cl...]]

Lilly, you are the only Child, then my theory is right 

JC, you are the fifth, so my theory needs more work done 

Who else?

[[Ro...]]

Older/only.

I've not seen mine sibling for over 10 years, and I didn't see her for much of my life. She's a coke freak.

Oldest of 3. Both are sisters, mom's favorites

 

Though my whole family on my mom's side is prone to anxiety issues.  So it's kinda hereditary.  My Aunt is poly drugged out to her eyeballs.

Same for me. I have two older brothers, and one younger. But remember that I am doing well....

Raised only child (adopted when I was little). Biologically oldest/only of my biological parents also, although they both had kids with other partners.

Oldest, but I've never had a mental health issue. Situational depression maybe, but no history. These drugs GAVE me a mental health issue.

I'm the older child of two.

So the pressure was on me to be more "responsible", set a "good example" and generally act more "grown up" with less freedom to make mistakes.
