Exactly! I got away with just bad eyesight, some childhood asthma, am in good health...way better outcomes than so many other preemies... my doctors who saw me for checkups up till age 16 would keep saying I'm a "miracle baby", go on about how I was under 1kg, so tiny bla bla and like you said "WHY ON EARTH did I survive such miniscule chances (less than 10%), with NO long-term side effects in order to accomplish nothing in the world and hate myself?!"
*hugs*
Why did my father enjoy hurting me physically and emotionally...why did my mother go into such terrifying violent rages...why have I not accomplished anything despite beating such odds...
Sorry you get it too
*hugs*
