I am so grateful to have found this page. I am just now realizing why I am the way and I am and it is so relieving to have a word for my actions. Even though we feel so much more than others, and people may not understand how complicated and painful it can be inside of us, there is so much hope. Up until a few years ago I would still cry at the memory of taking the wrong coffee cup when I was 11, but everyday I am getting better at understanding how to regulate my emotions that seem like they cannot be regulated. We should never give up, but just be open and honest about who we are and work towards being the best version of us.
