Firstly, thanks for everyone's replies. I posted this in June and didn't expect much of a response. I'm pleasantly surprised. @Candleflames , you nailed it. Regarding emotional and intellectual maturity, I feel years beyond my friends. Socially, I feel my age; and developmentally (physically)...

Of course it was rape. It wasn't your fault you had venereal feelings as a child because the conduct of the child does not matter in instances of rape. Firstly, children don't naturally think about sex in a specific form. They aren't interested in sex unless it's introduced to them and they get...

I wouldn't really call it trauma-induced, but due to a lack of food being available to me when I'm hungry, I feel I've developed an unhealthy attachment to food. I'm a high school student athlete with a job. I'm away from home 13 hours a day. All my spare money goes to entry fees for my sport...

I used to have hyperacusis--sensitivity to sound. It was brought on by PTSD. It's better now, though it flares up on occasion. While I was sensitive to all sounds in general, certain things I had a much lower tolerance for. The beeping I can relate to. I think it's because of the repetition...

I rarely drink covfefe, whoops... coffee, but when I do, I like it black and with very little sugar. I drink my tea without sugar or milk too. I know--atrocious. I ditched sugary drinks for a month a year ago to get in shape for track. I can't go back!

Hey, guys. I'm Julia, and I'm new here. I've been living with mild trauma-related symptoms for a while now, from prolonged trauma. I'm here to assist others in their recovery and venture to heal myself. See you guys around!
