I think I got triggered from my Psychiatrist appointment.. (TW: childhood neglect)

TW: childhood neglect

So I had an appointment with my psychiatrist today. He wanted to talk about growing up etc, to work out a bit of my background etc.

I was explaining what it was like growing up and everything, and he mentioned that it sounds like childhood emotional neglect - and it’s definitely affected my mental health growing up (which is true, it definitely must be a reason)

and when I disconnected from that Telehealth session, I just felt so emotional, so upset and panicked. I finally calmed myself down with some deep breathing, felt like it took me ages before I finally calmed down.

my psychologist is away for the next month or so, so I can’t talk to her about it, just yet.
but I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this kind of reaction from myself, about talking about my childhood.

anyway that was a thing today, and it kinda sucked.
