Pretty straight forwhard, I was raised in a fucked up house, food and shelter were provided but that was about it. I had to walk on egg shels my whole life and raise my self emotionally wich ended up badly. My coping mechanisms are pretty scarce and toxic.
But I am in my way out of this pit. I am convinced I can and I will do everything to become the person I want to be. That is someone who brtings good to the world and who other’s can **healthily** rely on and feel safe around. Basically smt I never had growing up.
I went trough a lot lately (anxiety attacks, suicidal ideations, lost weight, couldn’t sleep shit, hit rock bottom) but I’m not staying there. I’m going to face big changes in my life soon enough, I’m mooving away and starting my life from cero. Life will be hard and my safety net is almost non existent but I plan on building a calm and enjoyable life for my self step by step.
I’d like books that can help go trough this journey, hope is very needed at the moment, I’d like to untherstand my self better. I ended up being an avoidant wich is smt I’d like to know more about and work on. I would also be interested in untherstanding the traumas a child raised by narcissism faces.
Anything that can help me internalize coping mechanisms, healthier ways of seeing the world and my self, build up tools to be a more stable human being and BE someone good.
I’m not necessarily searching for self-help books, actually they are not my cup of tea, but if you genuinely believe in what one of those has to offer I’ll give a thought.
Thank you for your help, I appreciate it very much 🙂
