For me it's early childhood trauma, no stability early in life and abusive household both mentally abs physically that made me put myself in a box as to not upset or offend anyone. I'm learning to speak my mind and what not but still... that's where I'm at

Part of it for me is predisposition and genetics. Additionally, childhood trauma from sexual and verbal abuse, neglect, and instability.

Bullying in school, verbally abusive siblings and father, and losing relatives to illness.

I had Mono when I was in college. I've read online that can be related to MS

I have the genetic and traumatic childhood.

I have no idea. genetics maybe, but there isn’t a strong history of mental illness in my family. I think probably a mix of nature and nurture.

I think the biggest part is genetic and the predisposition we have to all kinds of mental disorders..But I think that how we were treated by our parents in our childhood has a role also.
