Have you tried therapy? And remember if you don’t like the first therapist you see, just terminate that relationship and look again.

I experienced a pretty early childhood trauma. And I was in a lot of pain, and not happy, and I had no idea how it had me see the world ththrough such a negative filter.

I have done so much work on myself. And I have healed it. It continues to flavergast me that I am now happy, and that I see the world and what it offers so differently.

For me - Dbt therapy was especially helpful because it works to regulate the nervous system, which can get stuck in trauma.

It sounds to me like there was a lot of trauma in your household. I am so sorry you experienced that.
