Hi I am 40, just started treatment for this in January. SO far a LOT of self discovery, especially about my relationship with my parents. There was physical abuse in the house, til I was about 7 or 8. I know this caused feelings of insecurity, and a lack of safety. Along with it, my feelings and emotions weren't properly mirrored, etc.. In the past when I have tried to talk about my hurts, fears, anxiety, and insecurities I feel I have scared people away. I feel vulnerable at the moment, but have been learning to say no, and to eliminate non supportive people in my life.
I have this trigger that occurs when I date someone. I automatically believe they are going to leave or cheat on me. My self esteem and confidence is at an all time low, and that mean inner critic seems relentless some days. I am hoping to find support here, with compassion and empathy. Hope everyone is having a good day!
