It's hard to believe

Deleted User

It's hard to believe that 60 years ago today I saw Mary Poppins  at the Leicester square Odeon. Time has flown by so fast! It still remains one of my favourite movies. 5 days later the trauma inducing awfulness of boarding school started. Just thinking about it caused tears to flow.

  • Sorry to hear it was so aweful for you.

    Were there any positive experiences, friends or life skills you took from this that you can think of?

    Have you worked on the trauma with a therapist yet? This is often very useful in defusing the impact from the trauma response from my personal experience and what I have heard from others.

    Nothing positive at all. It's only quite recently that I mentioned the bullying to my care coordinator come depot nurse. She was the one who used the phrase 'bullying related trauma'. I've always seen it as decidedly minor in relation to the physical and sexual abuse some have been subjected to. That a far less pathetic person would have got over it decades ago.

    I have a lot of issues that I can relate back to high school years and the time just after. I often look at the situation and think "it's 30 odd years ago, why am I still bothered?"

    But... That time is when we form our personalities and opinions of the world, learn how to deal with (or not) people and situations. it's the first real look at life, so I don't think it's pathetic to not have "got over it" , that time is meant to be burnt into our minds to help us, but unfortunately as some of it was negative that works against us as were stuck with those negative things too.
