I understand that this is not something you wanted to talk about publicly. Just know that there is no shame in adapting in order to cope. What you've described is a defense mechanism that happens for a reason, when there is real trauma and pain that's too much to bear. Your mind did what it needed to do to survive. There's NO SHAME in that. It's part of humanity.
That said, I'm so very sorry that you've experienced such pain and trauma. You didn't and don't deserve it. No one does. If I could offer or grant you relief, I would.
Take care,
