I(16F) had a super rough childhood, having huge issues with my dad caused great trauma.
I’m not gonna go in details but at 13 my parents finally split but my dad never gave up.

throughout those years I always felt like my head was tight. not like a headache, not like my brain was wrapped in something, maybe wrapping paper or with a balloon. They started when I was around 8-9, It wasn’t till I was like 12-13 that those headaches were gone

I got diagnosed with anxiety(caused by the ptsd) at 13, and ADHD(there were a few signs but started to be more severe once I grew older) at 15.

Im doing this post because I’m starting to get this feeling again because I’ve been getting super stressed recently due of some issues with super SUPER strict mom + finals coming up. But now it’s more on the front of my head than the entire thing.

I don’t know what cause this feeling, but it always made my head hurt because of how tight my head felt. Does anyone know if it’s part of a fight or flight response? Please be simple w your response, I have a hard time understanding things sometimes

Listen, I’m not blaming anyone for this, but it seriously gets on MY NERVES

Early I was doing my skincare in the bathroom, we have a typical sink that doesn’t have much counter, so everything is pretty much squished around the sink whenever you go to the bathroom.

I usually use a clay face mask to start off my skincare and gotta wait 3 mins. Before those mins are up I usually clean everything like putting away my towel, putting the clothes in the basket, etc to not do it later after I finish my routine.

I was waiting for my mask to dry up as usual but, this time my mom came in and she was doing something else. whenever she goes in the bathroom while I’m still there makes me kinda become blank because the space is so tiny and I feel like it’s cramped, plus I was butt booth cheek naked so I couldn’t go out and do the THING I USUALLY DO WHILE WAITING FOR MY MASK TO DRY.

Before my mom left she said that she doesn’t know how I could do all my skincare and keep everything disorganized and wet everything around me.

It ticked me off because whenever I do something I don’t usually do or it just didn’t cross my mind yet fate always makes my mom come to me for her to critique it.

Sometimes my mind comes up with an idea way later or thinks it but never acts.
This has happened with other cases too and I tried to ask Google but I didn’t really know how to explain the situation

It always ALWAYS happens and then I look like a liar when I say “ I always do that “ because my mom isn’t there to see it and only sees the times I don’t 🫩

I can try to explain abit more if you guys are still confused I just needed to rant it out but plssss tell me this has happened to anyone else and tell me why cuz it pmo smmmm
