Discussion How many of us are here due to childhood truma

[Meteora]

I m sure everybody is here because of childhood trauma. The community is devided into the ones that work on themselves and the ones who project, tough.

Odd that i've had that same ideation around 13 as well

Damn puberty

Directly related to a narcissistic mother.

No, not really. At the very least the 34 members would disagree and am sure the number would be much higher for the rest who didn't participate in the poll.

I see what you mean. It is a thing like "the sun goes up every day", a general law of nature that those who want to eliminate themselves have been traumatised. No rule without exception. Many people are not even aware that they have been traumatised (it took me a decade of therapy to slowly start to understand how abusive my parents were). That's my opinion and I m fine with you having a different one :)

Oh now I get what you mean. I did not answer based on the poll.

Besides, you missed the 7 who said they dont remember their childhood.

Yes unfortunately a large group of us here owe our suicidal ideations to past truma, some have realized that a lot sooner than othes. But It's not my opinion or assumption that not everyone here is suicidal due to childhood truma. It's a kind of fact. There are many poll threads on this site that show reasons of peoples suicidal ideation. Among those reasons a good percentage includes physical pain, chronic illnesses, physical disability, economic crisis and many many more. Dismissing all those on the basis of "general law of nature that those who want to eliminate themselves have been traumatised" and "they just might not be aware they have been traumatised"......I mean?

Besides, you missed the 7 who said they dont remember their childhood

The 34 was total of all those who don't owe their suicidal ideation to childhood truma but other factors, which I see now has reached 35.

The options aren't great for me. My upbringing was dysfunctional and so certainly not average but I'm not comfortable describing it as terrible. Plenty have put up with far worse.

That said, childhood trauma largely destroyed my chances of functioning normally in adulthood which is why I'm suicidal.

I find it totally unsurprising that the "terrible childhood has contributed to my suicidality" option in the poll is way out in front.

I never understand the obsession with having kids if one doesn't want one, doesn't know how to show affection and doesn't know how to not abuse....like why even bother to begin with?

Probably cuz they look at kids as mini mes they can let out on nd do wht they want to "shape" them usually doing worse than there own parents which is the most Fucked up thing abt parenting (when it turns into a power dynamic), if u can't be properly responsible for little ppl u shouldn't use them as a fucking punching bag, but that's how reproducing is viewed it's almost like a commodity. Also there's the generational cycle of ppl who didn't learn how to emotionally regulate

Yes, I had a pretty difficult childhood that contributed to my suicidal ideation.

I was beaten by both of my parents. My father tried to kill both me and my mother when I was a small child. I've dealt with my parents getting divorced, my mother remarrying, and then divorcing again. My stepfather and his family verbally and physically abused me. I was bullied pretty badly at school because I was the "weird autistic kid" and struggled to make friends. I became a recluse and a latchkey kid at eleven years old and had unrestricted access to the internet, which as a result I saw some shit I was too young to see. I was also sexually assaulted and preyed on by older men when I was 13-14.

Some things just sadly never leave you...

Am so sorry you had to indure all this at a young age. Absolutely no one deserves this.

 

[bigmanharsh]

It is really comforting to see so many people who are like me here, Such distinguish humans shouldn't be allowed to procreate. I hope all of you find peace in your own way.

I had a great life outside my house , during my childhood but inside of the house was hell, as I grew I distanced myself from everyone and everything and my mom is like" why don't u socialize anymore" . I just look at her sarcastically
