I was talking with my mom about my potential prenatal trauma (trauma that happens before birth) and it really made me realize how fucking insane the story of my birth is... like the timeline of events is basically
Be conceived. Yippee
6 weeks before I was born, my mother got into a devastating 75mph car accident that broke several of her bones. I somehow managed to survive that
The impact of that car accident made me flip upside-down in the womb, so I was in an incredibly dangerous position during delivery
Because of that weird position, my face was being scraped against my mom's spine on the way out so I emerged with a red swollen face. My skull was also severely deformed because it was still soft, and my dad has described it as "a cross between Frankenstein and a Xenomorph from Alien", so the doctor basically had to try and mold my cranium back into shape like pottery
Once I was finally able to go home, I was apparently so tired from everything that I immediately fell asleep for so long that my mom thought I had fucking died in my cradle and was on the phone with the doctor when I woke up
Now I've somehow made it to the age of 22 and have severe anxiety around cars for some reason that surely cannot be explained lmao
