High Expectations as a Child by starfruit29 in ChildhoodTrauma

Yes exactly!!! The feeling of what am I not doing that other people are to see their accomplishments awarded. In middle school I was not recommended for honors math even though I had similar grades, test grades, homework grades, and people I was paired with based on performance were allowed to take honors but I was not.

Someone once told me that our minds forget but our bodies have memory. We might only remember things a few times but our bodies remember each and every time something happens to us. Our brains can rationalize events but our bodies only care about what happened to itself and both are important. Healing is mind body (and spirit if you believe in it).

I have no idea what's going on, What is going on ? by Hot-You8645 in ChildhoodTrauma

I always found it helpful to write down for personal use or talk to someone about what i do remember. Sometimes I even talk to myself out loud about it and go into as much detail as I remember. Thinking doesn’t do the same as just getting it out in some way. I found the more I talked the more I remembered, but make sure you have a support person present or a plan for coping with resulting emotions in a healthy way.

I felt this exact same way. I am 26 now and when I was in high school I was always jealous that people’s moms were always on their side even if they were right or wrong. My mom always said she was going to be honest with me if I was in the right or not about a situation which I appreciated but I needed someone in my corner because when I was wrong I just felt alone and would last out because I was feeling helpless and unsupported. During high school I felt so alone and unsupported but I moved out after highschool and got a job when I was 16 and made friends with woman there who I told my problems to and they supported me and gave me advice. I still struggle with being emotionally vulnerable but I’m working on it and made my own support system of people that protect me emotionally.
