I grew up in an alcoholic household. My parents were both heavy drinkers when I was young, my father gave up in my teens but my mother remained a heavy drinker.
All my adult life I have struggled with fear of authority, depression, struggling to manage stress, feeling like my cup is always about the brim over, anxiety, low self esteem, feelings of not being good enough. I assume some of these come from growing up in such an environment. What have other ACOA done to help manage these feelings, negative emotions etc. I feel like I'm constantly going round and round in the same cycle of emotions. Feeling like I never really make any meaningful progress.
Any advice, or experiences, would be hugely valued.
