Is it normal to have a slight trauma from when i was young

5 Comments

When I was younger my little brother used to fight my mum and my dad alot. They screamed a lot, and it wasn't that I was scarded of them being angry raher than the fact that not a single day passed without them being angry with eachother.
Now everytime I hear something that even remotely reminds me of my little brother screaming (some random sound outside, something like that) I get this urge to run to my room, put on my headphones on the loudest volume and try to ignore it. That only happens for a split second and then the urge is gone, but the shitty feelig lasts for a lot longer, should I get help or will it just fade away? Or am I just being dramatic?

    Doesn't sound like a very bad problem I don't know if its normal or not but if thats the worse thing that happens all day you must have alot of really good days.

    I have something very similar, honestly if you want to go get help Im not stoping you but first you should question how long you had this problem if its been a few months then maybe wait a little just to see if it will fade but if it has been a year or more and it doesn't fade at all then yes you should probably ask someone about this

    It sucks yes, I have similar feelings/reactions to some things because of my past so I know what it's like. You could get therapy for it if it seriously bothers you, otherwise you'll have to teach yourself that you're out of that situation now and you're ok now and you don't need to react in such a way..
