I want to understand my mental health
Top | Newest First | Oldest First
Hi. I have CPTSD from traumas. The anger /hate is a healthy sign you're working towards recovery /helping yourself. As children we automatically defend our parents and take the blame for everything on ourselves. When we become adults is when we can realize who's fault it actually was and set boundaries (anger)
I think you will find therapy very rewarding since they will help you continue on this road. Therapy will also help you understand your "weird" behaviour or reactions due to the trauma and how to cope with it. Something I find extremely valuable.
I myself am going to start therapy in the end of this month am both nervous and excited. Remember that if you think it's the complete wrong therapy for you, or something just feels really off. You have the right to stop going and find another therapist. The therapists work is to make you feel validated and safe and then slowly push you and encourage you outside comforts. To help you grow confident and feel happy. You're in charge but the challenge is to let the therapist guide you.

@Helfreclb @Queendragonfly True that does sound a little bit like me.

I am so sorry that you had to endure this trauma in your life. Have you sought out therapy to get things out in the open? Plus, have you found your biological mother or father? Maybe some of these steps could help you understand things and get on the right track. Best wishes to you!! 🤗

Honestly I would talk to a therapist, it's worth it.
