Venting my childhood was just normal, i guess

[folly_]

i keep thinking about what it was like when i was a kid. my parents were pretty good, not great but good, still are. they divorced but it went pretty cleanly considering it was, well, divorce. i was never bullied. i had friends. i had siblings and we got along. when i think about it all, i just feel so guilty. the environment i grew up wasnt a bad one at all and here i am now on a fucking suicide forum!! i only had major bad events in my life after i started feeling really depressed and suicidal all the time. its like i shouldnt even be allowed to feel like this and im so tired

i feel the same. my parents were good and advocated for me alot. sure it wasnt like the best, with like autism/undiagnosed adhd (for most of it but even when it was diagnosed) and constant meltdowns, id say it was atleast neutral. like i never had any friends or got invited anywhere really but nothing bad happened either really. it makes me feel really guilty and like im impeding on other people with like actual struggles

I'm in the same boat. Never bullied. Never taken advantage of. Respected and given my due. No trauma. Here I am, all the same.
