I’ve lived with PTSD a good chunk of my life. I’m also a late diagnosed autistic person and therapist. Most of us with trauma are really good at hiding it because burdening others just can’t happen. Self esteem and compassion go undefined. I have lived through a thousand lives and experienced mental torture, physical and sexual abuse, and bullying (which began very early). When the world isn’t made for you it feels easy to opt out. Just know we are out there making a space for us and contextualizing and reconstructing everything. You matter tremendously.
