I can relate to some views here. I have never been much for therapy, but it does teach even those who haven't experienced what we would typically think of trauma coping skills. I would also like to point out living with a mental illness of any sort can be traumatic in a way because the life experiences we have are so altered. Even with anxiety... It is hard to cope as a child or an adult and not understand why normal stimuli or without and we respond with panic attacks like the world is falling in on us. Do not think of your own pain as less than because it still is taking away from your lives. Anyway, I wish you the best, and I am so very proud of you. If you want to talk send me a private. It is linked to my phone.
