Traumatic childhoods

[Jolene40]

I am sure the cause of depression is so complex we cant cover it all but i am very interested in how childhood trauma shapes the brain for a life of anxiety and depression.
Trauma could cover a huge spectrum of experiences i imagine so we are in effect all traumatised merely by our existence!
I think about the trauma my little one is experiencing having such an unwell mum who will die early one way or the other. I hope it isnt a guarantee to a life of misery anxiety and depression

I went through alot of counselling as i have suffered terrible crippling anxiety in adulthood ( before being physically sick) and the suggestion was that Ive been anxious my whole life; even as a child and alot of my childhood experiences have contributed to this.

What do you think? I think it to be alot more complex than this but its something im quite interested in hearing about from you guys.

This is something I've been thinking of quite a lot recently too, now that I am distanced from my family.
Maybe having a traumatic childhood not only affects you directly through your memories but also shapes your personality, how close you get to people and the way you perceive and deal with events happening to you.

saw them beating and after that everyday beating with mother and stepfathers, drunken screaming every day, never really made true friends, so i kinda grew up on my own. and by only games :D now i need to repeat all this life experience shit i avoided to get normal lol
bit humans are still worth to hate sadly

sexual abuse and other shit is too complicated to discuss, there are some members here who experienced it and might to talk to you here.
