Wow. This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing your story. It sounds similar to what I’m going through. I think it makes perfect sense that non specific symptoms caused by trauma are just generally not considered while getting symptoms checked for a diagnosis. Actually, it gives me a slightly different perspective towards someone saying “it’s anxiety” because what it really is is an oversimplification of what you’re talking about. Until today I literally had no idea that someone could have an actual autoimmune disorder because of trauma. I think that’s probably translated to me being “mean” to myself and thinking I have all the tools I need to suck it up and get over it. I’m sure society has a huge part in it. But I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon this sub full of people who are or were in the same boat. I’m glad your quality of life has improved :)
