I am recently uncovering and processing trauma and healing from these conditions slowly, but each time I process something, something else is behind it and it feels endless.


Does anyone relate

I feel like the process of uncovering our trauma and healing from them is a journey, that can take time and patience to endure. It can certainly be overwhelming at times, especially at the beginning, when you are first uncovering things. For myself personally, I have been working on my triggers, blind spots and pain for about six years now.

I have used self help teachers and one online psychologist, but with the right kind of help from a professional, it could take less time. I have come to wonder if the uncovering and healing will ever end. But I hope that at some point I will find true peace within myself and that hope keeps me on the path. I wish the same for you.

As far as being abused, yeah I definitely relate. I’ve been abused ever since I was a child and it’s still continuing, both verbally and emotionally, possibly mentally too. 

As for having/dealing with Autism, ADHD, and OCD, I went to more than one medical professional to get different opinions on whether I had any of these. 
Someone I know is experienced with helping others find out if they have autism and help them live normally despite having it if they do and her mom does the same thing with ADHD, OCD, etc.

According to them and the medical professionals I saw, they all believed I did not have any of these. I was preparing myself for dealing with any of these in case I was told I had any.

Yes. I relate with the emotional abuse part. But it’s also other things in addition to that. All of it feels endless for me bc it is. 

Currently my stepdad is being very disrespectful to me but always my entire life my mom has been abusive in multiple ways. 

They both obviously have serious mental problems that they’re leaving untreated along with more problems being created on a never ending basis. But all the blame typically falls on me. Yet who gets dragged into their problems? Me. 

Currently my mom is requesting me to help her with things. Family member or not why should I after all her never ending abuse??? It would be like I’m rewarding her for constantly bad behavior which will only fuel her to keep her bad behavior going. I can’t do that. 

I’m sorry you’re going through this and hope it’ll end for you and you heal sooner than later. Sending you love, strength and lots of hugs to cope with this in a healthy way and please know you’re never alone in these situations ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
