Personal struggles.

Has anyone ever had it where they struggle to deal with certain relationship situations, I mean I guess struggling to deal with their own emotions because of what's happened?

Unable to process properly, tearful, anxious.

Ugh I hate feeling like this. I'm a grown woman FFS!

Hey! Don’t be so hard on yourself, whatever you’re feeling, remember it’s OK to feel that way.

@OneDayMore While I agree that yes it's okay, I question if it's normal. I think my childhood played a big part in how I am as an adult. Ugh.

@Lanie78 wanna talk about it? What do you think on particular played a part in shaping how you are?

@OneDayMore Emotionally distant parents. Being bullied by a parent for several years. Made to feel unloved, unwanted, fat and useless.

@Lanie78 Same. We should try not let them define us. The fact that you’ve recognised that they’re part of the problem is a massive step. Hang in there. You’re not alone.
