hey all, im not really sure if im wording this properly lmao but the root causes of my mental issues seem like things that wouldn’t bother other people. so many people with bpd have been brutally raped and abused. but my issues come from many micro “traumas”. i don’t even want to call them traumas because they just seem that minuscule. for example, im completely scarred from being “forced” into going to school as a child. i felt abandoned by my mom and had severe anxiety every day. my mom had to walk me to class on the days I could make myself go, and hold me while I screamed and cried until they finally made me go into class. in fact it got so bad that the PTA voted to create a new rule that meant no parents could go beyond a certain point in the lobby of the school. but now, i have to wonder why going to SCHOOL like every other normal child has had such a negative effect on me. do any other people here feel the same way about their triggers? i feel like my mental illness is completely invalid and could just be boiled down to me just being a complete pussy from birth.
