School distress

Still not recovered from it nearly 50 years later. The bullying. #ActuallyAutistic #Schizophrenia #Schizoaffective I didn’t mention it to a MH pro till quite recently. I thought ‘It’s minor compared to physical/sexual abuse. I’m weak for not getting over it’

    Just because someone else *appears* to have it worse than you do, does not negate or remove the events you suffered. Suffering is suffering, and it really can't be graded based on comparisons. Just like a pain scale in hospital (rate your pain between 1, being something you barely notice to 10 the worst pain you can image), suffering and traumatic events are entirely insular and personal.

    From my own trauma experiences, It's perfectly normal to try and minimise the experience, to dismiss it as "not a big deal" but the fact that it's own your mind still means that it is a big deal. Therapy with someone specialising in traumatic events is something I can highly recommend.
