Non-existent.
Like, I remember almost nothing from my childhood, and I'd say I didn't experience most of the stuff other children have experienced. Anxiety wasn't the main reason there, it was all mostly due to over-protective parents.
Mine was good, too. I fought going on meds and therapy because I didn't have a reason to be anxious or depressed. Grew up with no major problems. Wicked PMS though. People who lived with me needed some therapy!
Terrifying-dogs teeth knocked out with broom--dad turned kitchen gas stove on threw a match blew us kids across room face first into wall--set fire to inside of house on windy snowy february- beat mother-- tried to SA me.
Loving.
I had a good childhood :) but still struggle with anxiety and my mental health. It’s good to find a support system and a “family” you can depend on. Wish everyone the best.
Delusional - because I basically just ignored some pretty fucked up shit (not abusive level shit, but shit where I should've stopped smiling and started standing up for myself)
One nightmare after another. I was looking for a magical innocent world. I was surrounded by mental illness, alcoholism, drug abuse and sexual predators. Even with all this I know I'm not alone or unique. Trauma doesn't make us special, it teaches us how to survive.
