I believe now, having read a little on trauma, extended especially, that I have serious identity issues. Its going to take a lot of unraveling of many years of emotional abuse before i can believe I'm really worth making a fuss about. There's no way I'd ever, ever, ever, ever bring charges even if I could (I can't), just so my precious self can feel better. Poor, poor me. Can't get off the couch today.
If I had wanted to reach out at age 17 or so, what would I have done? I was a social neonate. "Don't make trouble" was the house mantra.
And I can't imagine faking THIS. What fun. Writhing and hysterical and babbling like an idiot at the psychiatrist after two years of being so calm and coherent (well, except once). I guess people do get desperate or greedy for money but surely there are easier ways to earn a few hundred bucks a month?
I'm not eligible for anything. I've been unemployed for "no particular reason" for too long.
I've not tried to apply for disability, I just have been told that I'd be rejected for this reason.
My mom told me, actually. Who also discouraged me from going to the psychiatrist. Who also told me and my doctors all these years I have ADD. Wait. Hmmm.
