I can see how you avoided your 9 year old issue for so long. Largely you medicated it.
Frankly I think Py you are lucky to only be in the IC chair. Years of self abuse can leave enormous Mental damage, hallucinations and paranoia. You are lucky, young man, (wags head sagely) to be a young father in recovery.
Did the tumour operation cause the dancing eye to stop dancing? Has the scar faded?
Can I ask did your parents ever help you or did you have counselling for this?
Bullying is sadly too common in schools, that is the responsibility of adults, a nominated school adult to check in. I hope it's mandatory now in schools as it is in the UK.
This nine year point is vital, at the time you most needed acceptance, other kids saw you as a funny bunny. And you got seriously mothered by the older girls. It's a dynamic designed to create a kick away rebellion.
There is a great deal to consider, I have copied your post to an offline word pad and will read and think as I go.
So now let's ask those questions of you about the 9 year old stage, what was the most harmful the operation, hospital treatment or the funny bunny stuff at school?
Disclosure: I use the term funny bunny because that is the name of one of my shadows. Funny bunny had astigmatism and wore glasses with one lens taped over. Funny Bunny was deeply clever clogs and had ADD.
Did you advise your mum who sounds amazing by the way, or anyone at school?
In which ways psychologically did this need addressing?
And finally what have you done to address it?
I am researching the physiological stuff so was going to ask was the tumour invasive and packed? you said 10% with surgery and the rest radio. So why only 10% or why 10% at all? It clearly left a scar that was visible, was that explorative and what did that scar mean to you then? what does it mean now?
If I am intruding say so.
