Day 8: Traumatic Events

Not in the common sense of the word, though I do consider several challenges that exacerbated my mental health issues traumatic events... One such event ocurred in high school in the aftermath of a friend's suicide attempt. My friend swore another friend and I to secrecy about her subsequent hospitalization making it difficult to process the situation or cope with the fact that we were all triggering each other's issues and insecuritied. In the years that followed there was a lot of in-fighting.
