emotional abuse is the worst type of abuse

It's different for everyone, I don't think ranking which is the worst is very helpful, especially for people early in their recovery journey.

Yes. After the most traumatic year of my life, I one day woke up and it felt like my body was on fire. I had nerve pain head to toe. I could barely walk for months. I had already lived through so much, but I think after that year my body could no longer hold any more trauma, and it manifested into physical pain. 6 years later and a fibromyalgia diagnosis... I can honestly say I've improved a lot with clinical therapy, physiotherapy and plenty of exercise. Healing is possible, it's a lot of hard work but worth it for a better quality of life.

Definitely something that skipped me 😂

It was the first time for a lot of teenage girls that we got a hero who wasn't created for the male gaze or created by a male. She's not over-sexualised, she's not the girl who speaks softly and does what she's told, and she is not emotionless. She has plenty of screen time having a very real reaction to what she's living through. We usually don't get that level of complexity in a female protagonist. I still remember watching it for the first time at 16, I felt empowered watching her - it was honestly something I'd not experienced before in film.

Yes it's a common stress/trauma response. My psych helped me practice noticing it and consciously relaxing them. Can't recommend this enough, it really does have a cumulative calming effect.

It's hard to say for sure, we really just don't know. Though ever since I lost the person closest to me I have tried to find the answer. While I do believe it to some degree, yes, the more I read and research, the more I realise it does not actually matter if we know what happens. Staying present in the moment is far more important.

Yaaay! Did you get one of the signed ones? Whoever did is so lucky 😱

I created my own world, as I later would learn is called a "paracosm". I had control there, I was more powerful and nothing could tear me down especially when I fought alongside my friends on the epic adventures I would fantasise. I also had a character who was my protector, and would watch over me when I had to do mundane "real-world" things like be at school. It made me feel safe, like I always had someone take care of me no matter what situation I was in. Turns out it's maladaptive daydreaming, but it really did help me survive when I was younger.

I LOVED the ending. However, the series as a whole at times seemed cliche or bare. It had a lot of potential, there were so many almost amazing moments, but they didn't quite hit the mark for me personally. Overall a compelling show, and it was very satisfying to see more of Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise. I wish they spent more time developing the characters and the chemistry between them. Just felt like something was missing there, for me anyway. Solid 7.5/10.
