Coming Out was Traumatic | Effects of Family Rejection and High Stress 1.5 Years Later Salander Says 2021-02-24 | This is long overdue. Recently, I've begun to realize how much trauma around coming out and being rejected has changed the way I function (or has possibly exacerbated existing conditions), and I wanted to talk about it. I've felt a lot of pressure to not talk about what happened anymore and to sweep it under the rug the way others have, but I don't want to do that. So let's do the opposite. A note: As it is difficult to pinpoint a date of when this all started, I settled for 1.5 years, since that marks the times since the worst of my coming out. Trauma (noun): the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences.
