See myself in just about everything you say here. Biggest problem I have is people seeing it as a personality problem, as opposed to trauma. Extremely frustrating.
It’s so frustrating when people slap a “personality” label on what’s really trauma and survival mode. It’s like - “no, I’m not choosing this! My brain and body are reacting like this without my input!”
And honestly, being misunderstood like that can feel almost as painful as the symptoms themselves.

Ugh yes. 😞 I know exactly what you mean.

You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way.
