#i think this is a mental health trauma thing

Does anyone else feel stuck at the age they were when their chronic illness started to take over their life? For me it feels like time stopped and I got mentally stuck at that age, even though I’ve obviously been aging physically. Everyone else ages around me physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. Everyone I grew up with has started to build a life for themselves and seems lightyears ahead of me when it comes to life experiences but I’m stuck in this cycle of living the same day over and over and genuinely forgetting how old I actually am.
