Cw mention of punishment (no details) and panic/anxiety attacks

Trauma is having to learn to hide your panic attacks because you would get punished for them as a child, so now people don't believe you when you tell them you're having one of the worst anxiety attacks you've ever had, because you don't show any signs of it :(

trauma is why did you hurt me

trauma is despising yourself for the things adults who should have known better did to you.

(to anyone else who's experienced this, and who deals with the aftereffects now, i'm so sorry.)

trauma is feeling like a monster for enforcing boundaries.

trauma is being taught to always tell the truth and then being beaten for doing so and accused of lying, then giving up on honesty and learning to be a good liar because it's the only way to be safe
