Seesaw I grew up hiding any illnesses because it would piss my mother off and she would make me feel bad for annoying her and being a burden so I ignore my issues and just trod on with life until the pain is so bad I can no longer hide it.

As for chronic fatigue you can eliminate the usual suspects, diary, gluten, grains, sugar....try doing the Whole 30 diet for 30 days and see if that helps with anything.

Honestly I am not sure if there is any literature on you childhood experience. My T would say small doses of exposure therapy can help with that.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
