Hi Anita, Thank you. I have been functioning pretty well. I have learned to go on despite my feelings. I just find it so difficult sometimes to feel OK and pretty good about myself and future and then wake up in an anxiety the following day. Is this normal? You say that distress will follow for a long time, why? It’s been 5 months since my break up and 3 and a half months since my mom passed and well I guess a lifetime of abuse. I just want to know I am making the right decisions. I wanted some independence and more space at my aunts house but now I am lonely and I also came because I was feeling disrespected at my brothers house but could that just be my up and down emotions? My brother is very good to me but no he is not perfect and I find it hard to draw the line. I have been setting boundaries with people or at least trying but I am not sure if I am doing the right thing because I feel like since doing so and since not putting up with things I don’t feel great about it and I don’t have a lot of support. My friends haven’t been speaking to me and my family hasn’t been loving my boundaries.
