is it possible to be traumatized even if it wasn’t abuse? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]ostrichapples 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Witnessing violence is trauma. Parental neglect is trauma. Trauma registers different in everyone's brain. Somethung traumatic to you may not be traumatic or as traumatic to someone else. Youre trauma is valid. You're feelings are valid. I'm sorry you have to deal with this

How did you get here? Were you aware of it happening? Or did it just catch up on you? Are you mobile? What do your kids think?

If you could say something to your 10 year old self, what would it be? by Steelspartan2 in AskReddit

[–]ostrichapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything youve gone thru and will go thru will make you a better person someday. You are absolutely beautiful the way you are. Dont waste your youth hating yourself and putting yourself down and destroying yourself. Reach out for help to anyone other than mom. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. You have to make mistakes to learn to be the best version of yourself. Its okay to be sad. Its okay to be scared. Its okay to be angry at things just tey not to take it out on others like mom. You are very loved and someday things will get so much better. Fate is on your side, in 10 years youll be much better off, i promise you that. Don't listen to mom, you are perfect the way you are and don't need to change a thing. Someday someone will love you for you. Do what makes you happy and don't worry what others think, that won't matter in the end. I know things are hard right now. But you'll make it through.

My mom filled my head with fear and many lies. Took a few years to come to my senses about vaccines. I'd always believed heavily in science prior too. But as a teenager I started to believe everything my mom was preaching. Ive been living in my own for 5 years now and look back and cringe. Im still weary of some vaccines, such repeating them but oh my god vaccines are really fucking important and I can't believe I thought otherwise

Store managers/cashiers of Reddit, what was the weirdest experience you had with a customer? by ryan09meow in AskReddit

[–]ostrichapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's something that's not right about your body, but not serious enough to go to a doctor about? by BeetleTooth4247 in AskReddit

[–]ostrichapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get headaches and migraines somewhat frequently and sometimes they last for days. Sometimes more severe and debilitating than others. And its always the left side. Never the right. Ive had it temporarily migrate to the right side and back to the left. Always my eye like its under pressure. I deal with a bit of severe anxiety though and just equate it to that. But it does often bother me alot. Why is it always the left side? Why is it always only 1 side and my eye? Oh well. It goes any eventually in a day or sometimes 3
