Yep. I have repeatedly been told I have PTSD for 20 years, probably by 10 different therapists and psychiatrists, but I have never felt like what I experienced was enough or all that bad so I just never really understood it or how it was affecting me. But, then when I start to talk about it or say it out loud, sometimes it sounds pretty horrible. And the reactions from other people make me realize how much I minimize and invalidate my own experience, but that is how I survived. My family told me it wasn't that bad and I had to believe that, what else was I going to do? I think that's true for many of us. There's a LOT you can learn to normalize when you have no other choice.
