When you feel disrespected by someone or they are not being kind to you. Do you ever get mean thoughts or wild thoughts about getting even with them?

I did all the time as a kid, while I was getting beaten up, I would phase out and turn into another person emotionally. I just remember after all these years, they would leave me alone for the moment... My father was proud of being a bully, stating he bullied people in his school years for fun, so I guess me being bullied, and he heard about it, since he bullied me as well. But I always changed my personality so I could withstand the emotional trauma for that moment, even as a little kid. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Growing up did you ever dissociate emotionally due to the traumatic events going on in your life?

I had it real bad one day when I was in 2nd grade i was in P.E., and emotionally, I just broke down my subconscious mind couldn't tolerate the emotional lies. Everyone phased out, and it was all cloudy like in the P.E. class... remember, I didn't learn school like the other kids, I learned survival... because even though trauma was at home, I was bullied in school K-12 #CPTSD #PTSD #mentalthealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

At what age could you feel you were different than your siblings or kids in the neighborhood or at school?

I knew this at age 3, and I was extremely lonely, and it was an emotionally cold feeling in my house... until dad came around for a few hours and left for a few days. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Would you've preferred to be adopted or in foster care vs. with your biological parent(s)? Why?

I think this way sometimes, considering I had a surrogate emotional mom that I confided in and basically raised me. Preferably adopted, not foster care; I've heard some horrible stories about that. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Good morning! ☀️ Thursday, November 13th.

Today's Challenge:

Take a moment to genuinely compliment someone and make their day a little brighter (keep it friendly and non-romantic unless they are your spouse). #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder
