Me: *grows up with emotional dysregulation*
Teachers and school staff: *punished me instead of teaching me how to regulate and calm down*
*punishes me for using my own built-in regulation tools- ie, my special interests*
Me: *develops cPTSD*
*walks into unrelated doctor appointment looking like a zombie cause of heart palpitations*
Hand specialist: You’ve already had EKGs? You’re so young!
This is how I become the fucking Joker.
