I'm glad I'm not the person feeling like a medical nutcase. Have you ever had to tell a new doctor wtf has happened to your body and they just look at you like ๐Ÿ˜ฎ the whole time? I feel like a case study waiting to happen.

Everytime I have to explain why I am legally blind and all my gut health issues and how they stem from my bio parents locking me in a closet for nearly 3yrs straight. I was 2y9m and weighed just over 10lbs. Everytime I share it I am so used to saying it it doesn't effect me like my adoptive mom cptsd trauma but they always look at me like HOLY MOTHER OF....๐Ÿ˜ฑ Then tell me how sorry they are. I always say well you didn't do it so it's ok. I'm 30yo this year so I've long processed that trauma. I actually am a Motivational Speaker for child abuse awareness and prevention now telling my story all over.
