I’ve tried to do research about this, but I’m finding very minimal discussion about the correlation between adult clumsiness and long term childhood trauma. And I couldn’t find any answers for a possible correlation between getting lost easily and childhood trauma. And fyi, I’ve already been diagnosed with bipolar and ptsd. 

Of course, I have a ton of stuff I need to work on. But one thing that has been really bothering me for awhile now is the fact that I’m super clumsy and get lost easy. And as a young woman, I think people easily just equate this stuff about me to being “ditzy”. I’ve even been told that these traits are “adorable”, which I honestly find offensive. I don’t know any other adult who is like this to this extent, and these things have caused me to get injured numerous times. There was one particular incident where I could’ve gotten seriously injured and maybe even died if things went differently. 

I promise you that I have my reasons for thinking I’m particularly clumsy and more likely to get lost in unfamiliar places. But this post would be way too long if I tried to explain. And yes, I do have a long history of trauma. Most of my life has consisted of it in fact. Is all of this a symptom of long term trauma? Or could it just be in my nature? None of my family members are like this.
