Maybe I'm not that crazy.,,
The following are some of possible effects of child abuse and neglect on a child’s mental health:
Anxiety
Depression
Dissociation
Difficulty concentrating
Academic problems in school-aged children and adolescents
Withdrawn and/or difficulty connecting with others
Flashbacks
Increased hypervigilance
Difficulty sleeping
Possible emotional and behavioral effects of trauma include:
Eating disorders
Drug use
Risky sexual decision-making
Self-harm
Troubled sleeping
Discomfort with physical touch
I looked this up because ... well, I like to say and believe I'm over it and just naturally insane, because it seems pathetic to still be affected at 34 ... but I think I'm shittin' myself. Figuratively.
I have, or have had, every single fucking one of the symptoms above, except academic problems.
I suppose I probably should be talking to someone about this. But I really don't feel like thinking about it, much less talk about it.
