Hello everyone, this is a great post. It's so important to acknowledge our different  aspects of ourselves that make us our whole self. Honour them and respect them because they are a part of us, apart of us that helped us to survive. I don't feel a diffent identity in each aspect, I know they are all a part of me, just each  with a  different set of emotions and needs, associated to the traumas that I experienced and had to endure.  Thank you all for you posts. They really are helpful. 🙏🏼

Thank you to all of you for sharing your stories. It has provided me with a sense of sanity and somehow a sense of connection to others ( even though I've not met any of you)
Neglect in the womb and as an infant, and childhood also set up foundations for me that have made my life a difficult one to navigate.
I have memories of complete terror and fear, powerlessness and exhaustion as well as despair from infant neglect. These themes have shaped all my choices and I have been sorting through these themes and attempting to re wire my brain and heal those split and broken parts of myself. Unfortunately my choices from  a damaged perspective, created even more neglectful and abusive scenarios my whole life, until I started to delve very deep into myself and find self compassion and self love.
Now I experienced overwhelm and exhaustion and isolation when I am triggered. I cannot work very much and I haven't had a relationship for 10 years. The triggers can be like popcorn at times and I feel like my brain is exploding. But I am proud of myself for surviving and having the courage to keep going and believing in myself despite my darkest moments.
Thank you and I am sorry you all carry the deep wounds also. 💓
