I mean... I don't know I just suffer from it.
Yet still believe many traumas are way worse than what I have been through. I think we have way too many people thinking today that their stubbed toe is as bad as someone's leg being amputated because "it traumatized them!"
I live in a family that when I announced I had cancer where several members were quick to say "oh but it's not as bad as when I (hurt my arm, had pre-cancerous cells, had to have sinus surgery - play along and make up your own! It's fun!)"
My own psychologist and psychiatrist are quick to say that some trauma people claim nowadays is nowhere bad as trauma trauma.
There are people like Alice who think being told "no" is a trauma and I have no doubt her brain produces trauma symptoms.
But honestly - I'm old and just don't care.
Sometimes a
bleep is just a
bleep.
