Trusting feelings

[Alexandra]

Hello ; I could not afford to trust my feelings about my so-called mother, the abuser ,if I had I would have left home at age 5 , it has taken me time and am still working on trusting how I feel about each person, that those felling are reliable, because of the trauma, my feelings in other areas are distorted, ex. I get very anxious to have people in my apartment, actually, it is safe to do so. I am trying to work out which feelings I can trust,and which feelings come from the trauma. Do other people have this issue ?

Yes very much so Alexandra - you are not alone in this.

I admire that you are trying to sort through it.
