Thank you, a shield is another good way to explain it. I think the last time I didn't feel like this was when I was a kid as well. My Pdoc has also mentioned it's likely trauma-related but they haven't told me much on what to do about it. It makes me feel like my life was stolen from me because I can never live up to my full potential and I can never be the "real me."
