screaming, crying, throwing up...

saw some article about "eggshell parenting" which apparently is a term this psychologist termed herself. i went to her tiktok and searched the tag #eggshellparent and there are so many videos, omfg... they all just feel like bomb drops. (this is Dr. Kim Sage btw)

"the sound of tires in the driveway, slamming cabinets, sudden loud sounds" aahhhhhhhh.....

i wanted to also include a video that isn't just text on the screen, but can't figure out how to embed it so here's a link. more stuff about how hypervigilance presents in adults after childhood trauma. but honestly i can just get lost on her page or just anything under #eggshellparent. just going down the rabbit hole right now...

my post the other day was about my dad and my ex, but my mom has BPD and messed me up with this kind of stuff too but in a completely different way. that was more overt though; only in recent years have i been coming to terms with how bad things were with my dad too.
