Wilted

So one of the things my therapist is having me do is write a list of every traumatic event in my life and then rank them all on a scale of 1 to 10.

 

I've been putting it off. 

I don't wanna do it.

I know I have to put my son's father on the list. I know Mike's violent entrance into my home goes on the list. I know my miscarriage goes on the list.

But where do I draw the line between what's traumatic and what's just upsetting?

Is there a line? Or is it relative?

Maybe I'm overthinking. Typical.

    mine had me do the same, and i think it's healthy to look at the list and it helps you move on, a lot of people think since i'm just a teenager i know nothing about pain, but the pain i feel is different, your writing is beautiful

      I definitely think people underestimate the things young people and even children go through.
      Thank you. I'm not all that talented. Just writing thoughts down.
