I sometimes wonder how much my childhood shortened my lifespan. I think work wouldn't top that stress I had.

Have you taken the ACES test? I thought it was a great eye opener. At least it was for me.

Just did, didn't cover anything relating to my issues. I scored a 1, and that's only because "Was a household member depressed or mentally ill" fits me.

I'm glad I've never taken it before because I definitely would've interpreted it as a sign that I didn't really experience anything bad and that I'm just so bad at everything I can't function in even a normal environment. At least now I can stand up for myself and say that's not true. Still sucks to feel unseen by a test whose name claims to be general.

I hope this result doesn't put you off of looking for the help you need. Remember that this is just a tool out of many available now and while this wasn't for you, that doesn't mean there's not something for you out there.

Well, I mostly solved the depression with estrogen, and coincidentally I'm seeing a therapist tomorrow for what I think to be CPTSD and some other symptoms I don't know much about. I'm suddenly collecting an avalanche of diagnoses it would seem.
