I was bullied a lot at school and the people there made me feel like an ugly, worthless piece of s***. Every day I have flashbacks and horrible memories of it and sometimes I have nightmares too. Now even though i’m an adult, I feel trapped by it.
My therapist said it is trauma and I have most of the symptoms of ptsd.
I’m so upset 
No need to be upset over it. The important thing is that you get better
I was ignored. Yours was worse but being ignored for four years in high school affected me.
I am just so confused. School is supposed to prepare us for life but if anything it just made me want to hide from everyone and everything.
I can imagine being ignored would have been pretty tough… but isn’t social exclusion is a form of bullying as well? Children can be so cruel. I am scared of children and teenagers now.
There are ways of dealing with things so they affect you less and there are ways to make them affect you more. Mental toughness has a lot to do with it. I’m not dismissing what happened to you but how you deal with it now is what matters going forward
I just am grateful I’m not bitter. My goal was to work. I’ve worked for 35 years. My second most important goal is to be good person. I fall short of that goal often but I think I’m doing a good job. Both accomplishments are miracles that no one else can fully understand why they are miracles for me.
Add the Lrd to the issue and what do you get?
Yes, for me, it’s a higher power and not necessarily called God.

I was made fun of in school it was traumatic from being called fat and ugly I had no hope until I was sent to a mental health group home for adolescents after mental breakdowns and met my first boyfriend Kristian who repaired some of my selfesteem. I still think I’m ugly to this day sometimes
I had gynecomastia as a teen. That’s where you have brest tissue and I’m a Male. People would walk up to me and twist my nipples hard and say mean things. I’m still affected by it. I had surgery to remove it, but I still feel shame about my chest.
I’ve managed to recover a bit from it, and full recovery is possible just keep working with your care team and eventually you will feel better, or at least not as bad about your trauma.
Wishing you the best!
Lard? Are u saying I am fat?
no jesspresso thats Lord. I was saying to 77nick77
