very intrigued about your name!

I'll go ahead and explain it then!!
So uh, well.. TW for traumatic delusions, SA and CSA, as well as aspects of my OEA (Organized and Extreme Abuse) and conditioning/programming.
The "Lobotomized" portion of my username comes from the fact that I am schizophrenic and had early onset schizophrenia as a kid. Between the ages of 5-13 (broad, I know, but for my safety), I started have delusions that a parent did an at-home lobotomy on me. Even to this day, I still struggle with discerning if this was real or just a delusion. Thankfully, I have a very supportive group of friends who understand how traumatic and scary this delusion can be for me. I chose to reclaim this so I had some level of control over the delusion. Or, well, felt less scared of the delusion when it pops up. Which has been helping a lot!
The above also somewhat coincides with the "Doll" choice. As mentioned in my previous ask, I have a CRIPPLING fawn response. I also have a crippling FREEZE response. So I become very "doll-like" and very appeasing and timid and just wanting the abuse to be over with. This response is because of my intense and extreme conditioning and sexual abuse that went on for over 15 years. I want to reclaim it because Ball-jointed dolls are SHOCKINGLY very sturdy! Or at least, the ones typically made from resin! I wanted it to be more "Gentle, but strong" kind of vibes. (Though I was not inherently conditioned to believe I was a doll. Just doll-like!)
Even my pronouns are a reclamation of the dehumanization I faced from all of this. I don't want my trauma to define who I am... I want to pull myself away while reclaiming it, if that makes sense.
I'm also someone who does not have a means to fully recover (anti-therapy conditioning + abuse from therapists), so I try to find healthier ways to cope with everything by reclaiming specific aspects of it. My system and myself work with exposure best!
