The first step I guess is for me to accept it as trauma and acknowledge that it has played a part in my mental health issues.

Well technically speaking you where a victim of bullying...so was I but its not to be ashamed about to me being a victim of something implies you didn't have choice in the matter and it was wrong actions on the part of another(unless in the case of natural disaster)...but this society seems to have created a feeling of shame related to being a victim of anything like its shameful to ever have something bad happen to you that's out of your control.
But I kinda get that feeling like I sometimes still get embarrassed I have PTSD from the trauma I do because I feel like it wasn't that major so I should have 'gotten over it' or something.
