Video that helped me see where my anxiety stemmed from.

Really good video, hope it helps others here. My anxiety developed from growing up in an emotionally repressive household where I was emotionally and physically abused and shamed for expressing normal anger and trying to stand up for myself. I then was bullied in school and developed social anxiety. I had not self-esteem and I later on realized neither did my parents. Anxiety can definitely cause or contribute to low-self-worth and low-self-esteem and self-hate so it's critical to learn to develop that in yourself. There is a lot of good info on youtube about this as well as good books and programs about it. Learning self-love and self-compassion are the key.

same here to all the above. I ended up addicted to hard drugs at 15 and basically living on the streets, then homeless at one point & many assaults of different sorts. It’s made me blame myself for so many things that aren’t my fault. I’m on day 2 of showing myself compassion and understanding. Game changer!
