I can relate to so much of this. I also think, to relate to the conversation about rules, that these things are why it’s so important to have real, wise, counsel in our lives, from people who know our situations and our personalities.

I’ve gotten some very bad, but well meaning advice, over the years! And trauma really has a way of winding these things together with bodies and making it very tricky to identify problems. But so often what we need is more compassion, for ourselves and for others, not less. Aundi Kolber’s “Try Softer” is such a good resource when it comes to this.
