i wish i was traumatized the “right” way.
i wish i was one of those people where my trauma made me a nicer person. a sweet little people pleaser who gets scared doing things alone. the ones who are effortlessly kind and don’t get angry. the one everyone likes and treats like glass. instead i’m an overreactive and angsty mess. i get angry too quick, i don’t have a whole lot of empathy, im eager to stay locked away, i’m selfish and not very shy about that, and i’m not chomping at the bits to help people because no one helped me and i can’t get over that. i remember being a small child and even though i was surrounded by anger, i myself never felt it even when i should’ve. i just felt sad. now, anger has burrowed itself to me like a parasite and i am dying.

Sometimes the trauma tries to drop some new info and I just... pack it up and mail it back. Return to sender I do not want to know this.

[image description: meme with an image of a bleeding soldier, on fire, holding his arms out in protection of a sleeping child, as the soldier takes all the weapons flying towards them in his own back, keeping the child safe. The weapons flying towards the soldier are labelled, “unhealthy coping mechanisms”. The soldier is labelled “dissociation”. And the sleeping child is labelled “wow I’m functioning so well!! I’m so stable!!!1!”]

It never gets any less wild to me how almost every aspect of my behavior can be linked back to some horrible thing that happened to me.
I’m confident any mentally ill thing I do can be explained with its own cinematic piano-triggered flashback sequence.

when you realise you're actually constantly experiencing flashbacks when you thought it was just anxiety
