People say your struggles don’t define you but like. I would be a completely different person if my life hadn’t been full of stress and trauma and instability. The person I could have been is dead. I don’t know where I begin and the mental illness ends

I’m an extremely sensitive and emotional person. I would not be this way if it weren’t for how I was raised. I mourn who I could have become if not raised in such a high stress environment

I feel this SO hard. Like I still remember being much more of a person as a small child. I still feel like that sometimes around my bf so that gives me hope. It’s not the same, but maybe you’ll find some of yourself again 💜

Yeah and life has its ebbs and flows so sometimes things are more stressful and confusing and others are clearer, for ME when I don’t have some free time to process (I’m an internal process) I tend to be all over the place emotionally/in thinking, and I pick up easily on other people’s emotions and will be impulsive to ‘fix’

And I’m glad I’ve been through what I have because it’s made me understand people better tbh and question more rather than face value imo
