#brook/sanji/robin my beloveds i think we should take them to therapy

It's debatable which Strawhat has the worst trauma, but Sanji definitely has the worst coping mechanisms.

The "worst trauma" debate is so ridiculous because they are all traumatized in a way and it is not a contest 😭 It's not even like. Debatable. You don't go to a group of people and start wondering who had it worse because that's not the point. This is not directed to you, anon, btw <3 I just find it funny how people will constantly talk about who has it worse because it also depends on how you relate/connect to their stories.

HOWEVER!!!!!!! When it comes to coping mechanisms, Sanji is the worst and you're absolutely right.

TW // Eating disorders, Self-harm, unhealthy coping mechanisms in general

Imo, he's a workaholic and won't stop cooking to avoid thinking about what troubles him. He also refuses to go to sleep unless his body gives up on its own because he either has nightmares or/and insomnia. There are a lot of reasons why I think he struggles with eating properly but one of them I'd say is feeling in control of his life in general/feeling like he doesn't deserve to enjoy food. Also, that tick he has of pulling his hair constantly when he is stressed/having a breakdown. Etc, etc, etc.

The worst is that he refuses to get help because he believes it will just either go away on its own or that it isn't such a big deal for them to worry. But of course the crew worries. I like to believe Robin and Brook help him the most but perhaps that's just me and my love for this trio and these two extremely traumatized gentle adults taking care of him.
