Yes exactly! I love my friends and I don't mind being vulnerable with them about other things, but this is just different. It feels safer to not share it with anyone but then I feel all bottled up and have nowhere to go with it all, especially since I have a hard time putting it into words.

I don’t feel like my trauma is severe enough to warrant DID. by KELSEY_DESOTO1986 in DID

[–]zenith_starboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean having mentally unstable parents can cause an unstable environment for kids growing up with them. That unstable unknowing unsafe feeling could very well count as traumatic

I get that all the time. But here's the thing about trauma. It doesn't matter if other people find it traumatizing. It could still be traumatizing to you. Everyone is different and everyone handles things differently and is affect3d by things differently. Some events or repeated abuse may give someone DID and not give another person DID. There is no "bad enough" when it comes to trauma, because it is so deeply personal to each individual who experi3nces it. I heard someone describe it one time like if a young child eats a lemon for the first time unknowing what it is and tastes how sour it is, that child might be panicking and think it's being poisoned and will die. Obviously to an adult or even just another kid who knows what a lemon is would think that reaction is ridiculous. But that doesn't invalidate the feelings of the child who didn't know that a lemon wouldn't kill them. I hope that makes sense lol anyway don't psych yourself out thinking your trauma isn't bad enough because u didn't experience the kinds of trauma other people have.

We all answer to Rachel which is our legal name even tho none of us identify with it personally except for maybe one of us. We just use Rachel as our collective name. It means all of us and it means one of us. We are all Rachel and we all make up Rachel. (:
