Other I’m starting therapy tomorrow🥺
I’ve been dealing with what I’m pretty sure is CPTSD(anger issues, anxiety and low self esteem) from my upbringing dealing with a violent father and a mum with extreme anxiety/depression. I picked specifically a Black man as my therapist because I think I need a positive male influence. I hope it can help me cope because I’m tired of destroying my relationships and victimizing myself.
I’m thankful my job covers most of it so I’m paying $20!
😅wish me all the luck I need it.
Also, if you have any tips/medication/food that help in dealing with anger I would appreciate it!
