as a youngster living at home i was severely emotionally abused

Reading things like this always get to me - other can just get over pain and never have a problem again, while I feel flat out broken. And I don't think there's any way to fix me. How the hell am I supposed to "grow up" like this person suggested for an actual abuse victim? I don't know what that even means...

I guess if you're naturally good at compartmentalizing, or you knew the things said as abuse weren't true, you could disregard it. I don't have that luxury though.

I think it's time to give up. If I'm just a weak useless failure of a human being, why even bother. Especially if it turns out I'm mentally ill from not even being abused.

I will likely have forgotten all these sentiments in a few hours.
