This list is very helpful to understand what boundaries are! when you know what boundaries are, you can start to figure out how to enforce yours.☺️ having trauma or other mental problems make boundaries difficult to understand and enforce, i hope this will help a little!☀️
Easy examples of setting boundaries would be: not answering work e-mails on your free time, saying no to non-mandatory stuff you don't want to do, say your opinion about a situation even when others disagree.
How do YOU set your boundaries?

Constant stress and fear over long periods of time during childhood is damaging. Did you know that our brain actually develops differently if we had an unstable childhood? it's a measurable change and it can have drastic effect on our mental and physical well-being. Someone gone through reoccurring trauma in childhood is more likely to suffer from chronic pain and many other physical problems as an adult. Mental health issues are of course much more likely to occur too. Some of the damage can be reversed in therapy and we can find ways to function, so all is not lost.
if you had a difficult childhood, I see you and I believe you

Even though could've/should've/would've type of thinking doesn't usually lead us anywhere, it's absolutely okay to wonder how different you or someone you know would be if you/they were from a normal, loving family. or if they hadn't experienced a certain traumatic event, or gotten sick.
it's okay to grieve the lost childhood or the person you were before your traumatic experience or illness. actually it's NECESSARY to let yourself go through these feelings and thoughts in order to eventually let go.
So give yourself permission to grieve and go through these thoughts, just don't let it consume you.

This is a very good rule of thumb for spotting someone's triggers! Often people with ptsd/cptsd and other trauma related problems don't know all their triggers, some don't even know they have any! it's a tricky thing to understand our reactions because they are so automatic and we don't tend to think about them. It is very important to notice and take note of our behaviour when it feels a bit out of place.
This is of course also useful for friends and family, and I want you to kindly ask the person seemingly over/under reacting if they are okay. Do they feel safe? Do they need space? What do they need?

Trauma is not comparable. We do not choose to get traumatized, it's not in our hands what our brain does during a traumatic event, or what our brain counts as traumatic!
This is why some people won't get any serious trauma symptoms even after being at a war zone, and some of us get diagnosed with ptsd from bullying at school. Neither situation is more valid or WORTHY.
I know you immediately thought the bullied person is somehow weaker, didn't you? Well, trauma is not about strength or lack thereof. Trauma is not a competition. PAIN IS PAIN
Be kind to each other and yourself
