my life

[Mini_Mouse23]

I was sexually, physically, and emotionally abused my whole growing up, my parents got divorced when I was young. My dad remarried then got another divorce. And I’ve just went through a lot of traumatic and bad experiences in my life. I have a lot of anxiety and stress and I let me emotions control me and decision making instead of being rational. Anyways, my mom, dad and step mom were all abusers in my life and I struggle with life and with my relationship and I just want to get better for myself and get my life on track for myself and for everyone in my life today.

hey there. Sorry you have been through so much! I grew up with an alcoholic father who was a good man until he got drunk which was every night so I kinda get where you are coming from. I hope all of this abuse is behind you. You clearly want to get better and move forward and that is a great first step. I can only tell you what helped me to control my depression and anxiety which was and is very severe. First are you on any medication to help with you depression? I take 3 different medications every day to help control my depression and anxiety. Second have you seen a psychiatrist or therapist? I didn’t see either one until I tried to commit suicide and I forced to see both an was extremely glad I did! a psychiatrist can talk with you and work with you to prescribe the medication that will work for you. And a therapist will help you work through your pain and anxiety over all that you have been through. My thoughts are with you and I along with others are here to listen and encourage. Please always feel free to reach out. And remember that you are worth fighting for!

thank you that means a lot to me, I have seen a therapist but then stopped because I thought I was good but it came back to me these last few weeks. I have never seen a psychiatrist before I will look more into that and into seeing a therapist again and starting that up.

Please do find you a psychiatrist. He can help you with medication and point you to a good therapist. Please put yourself first and make a decision to seek help that will make your life better. Good luck and as I said people on this forum are kind and understanding and are always here to support you.

Hi Mini_Mouse, I am so so sorry that you had such a rough upbringing. I am glad that you are ready for some more healing and to change. I think it is completely understandable that you would have mental struggles after what you have been through.

I really like ketamine therapy and I love the book "Feeling Great" by David Burns. I know that there is a path to peace for each of us. We just have to find it☮️
