Catch22 anxiety
Growing up in abusive household, my whole life I dreamt of the day that I’ll get out of it and be safe and live my life.
Now that I’m out of there, I’m traumatized and completely messed up. I’m feeling pain more than ever, and the worst part is that, it doesn’t make sense to people around me, because “why are you reacting that way it’s in the past”
it’s like if your cut yourself deep while you’re numb you don’t feel anything, the pain comes long after the blood is shed
but I feel alone..
I feel like I was punished as a child,
And now I’m being punished for that punishment (by having to go through the pain)
While have I had an easier childhood I wouldn’t have had to go through this trauma and would have probably been able to enjoy life like “normal” people do
