Day 8 Those emotions

This isn't my first ride on the rodeo so I've figured out a lot of things tied to my symptoms, or at least worsening of them. I have a lot of anger around my relationships with men, starting with my dad and going through an early abusive relationship and having a traumatic event in my first marriage. Therefore my current relationship leads to a lot of fear and anxiety tied to those prior interactions.

I also experience a lot of work stress, particularly being forced back into the office two days a week after five years of WFH. I have resentment for coworkers who have what I feel I deserve and their perceived preferential treatment.

Lastly I have a mother who lives with me for free, too long of a story for this, that creates tension and resentment as well. All of these things feed my symptoms.

 

Good for you!
