I’m starting to think that some of my issues are down to growing up with my unwell mum. I don’t blame her at all. I remember being very scared all the time. I never went to her or asked for help with anything because I feared I would make her worse.
My parents never really discussed anything with me so I always used to worry and think the worse.
I ended up in an abusive marriage. I have never been able to stand up for myself. I suffered anxiety and social issues. I’m wondering how much of this was because I’ve grown up with my nervous system always on alert. I now suffer autoimmune conditions.
