I thought that I was the problem and that I was broken and messed up, but I was having a normal reaction to an abnormal (unhealthy) situation.
It seems like for a lot of my life, people made me to feel like I was the problem and like I was difficult.
I got out of a toxic circumstances in my life and then healed myself using self-help and therapy, and now I am mostly better...I am still having flashbacks and ruminating and having the occasional panic attack...but I am functioning and getting better.
I guess I just wanted to say that it's ok to shut down or to want to run and hide. It's ok to respond to traumas in ways that are socially not always accepted or understood.
There is nothing wrong with us and we are not actually broken...we're reacting based on our natural predisposition + traumatic trigger.
You are ok wherever you are in your journey.
