Stress and anxiety

[KatieRichie94]

I've been stressed for so many years cause of my mom being so degrading. Also I got sexual lyrics assaulted by a family member I still live with. Could this be causing my terrible anxiety?

In my opinion, yes it is very likely that your family problems has contributed to your anxiety. It can't be easy for you to live with someone that has sexually assaulted you and a mother that downgrades you. I feel for you and I am sorry for the situation that you are going through. God bless <3

Domestic abuse is a powerful and dreadful social aggrevator of many symptoms of psychological distress. Yes, living with someone who sexually abused you as a child can be the cause for anxiety. That very same thing has provoked a personality disorder in me.

You now need to find your way to cope.

You need to find lots of support - people to talk to and who will help you feel strong. The worst is feeling helpless - good luck!!

If you can see a good therapist...one that believes in talking things out before medicating. Also, forgiveness, not excusing, is for you. Try talking to your Mom about how her degrading makes you feel. Let go of what people think of you or what you think they are thinking...in the end it doesn't matter (others opinion). I had gotten so anxious because of what people were actually saying about me and what I perceived they were saying...also overthinking everything...not a good thing to do. Praying for you Katie.
