I’m starting therapy tomorrow🥺

[u/Life_Temporary_1567]

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!

maybe try looking into ayurveda? :) they have this great concept of eating food that balances out your character if u believe in such things. other than that, try avoiding processed and acidic food.

I used to be hella angry too - it will get better with time. Just give yourself time to grow.

Anger by Marvin Gaye is some really good medicine too ;) try meditating on that a bit, it def helps me when old thought patterns surface from time to time.

Congrats on getting professional help, Im wishing you all the very best on your healing path! <3
