“A year ago I was with my mom, she had irritated me a lot and i did not want to speak with her on our car ride back home.
She goes on a phone call with her friend and talks shit about me in that call. Which made me even more pissed off.
We stop by at a CVS and she blew up at me. Told me I don’t deserve to be angry with her because she’s going through a lot in her life and her problems are a lot more difficult.
And I sat there wondering. “Man, I’m just upset. I can’t even be upset at you for a while. I don’t hate you i just want some quiet space.”
It was then I realized I have a LOT of childhood trauma. Explained why I never get angry at anyone for wronging me. Explains why I don’t express myself when things bother me.
Crazy. I never knew how bad it was before that.”
“Yeah my dad is upset that I told my psych doctor about my childhood. His exact words were “If it didn’t bother you then why does it bother you now. You told the doctor that just to get drugs”.
Yeah Dad sure I lied to a doctor to pay 15.00 a month to get lithium that messed up my thyroid and gave me chronic diarrhea for 13 years. I mean sure lithium and latuda are the go to drugs for raging opioid addicts across the globe.”
“Going no contact with my emotionally abusive, extremely draining mother was one of the best things I’ve ever done for my mental health and quality of life. Hope you can get to a place where you can do that soon!!”
