You know I have a side effect from the abuse I suffered and although it's not entirely bad it does have some attributes which may not be the healtiest for me.
The main side effect is that It causes me great emotional pain to hurt anyone even in the slightest be it emotional or physical. This helps me treat my fellow people with a great deal of curtousy and respect. Although at times it does hinder my abiltity to communicate with people because I live in fear of hurting them.
The second side effect which is probably the worst is that when I see or hear of someone elses pain I feel it to like it becomes a part of me I don't even have to know the person I just have to know a little bit about their emotional state and I feel their pain. This particular side effect gives my depression a limitless supply of fuel.
Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else has/had similar side effects from their abuse?
