Hi Ana

I’m very sorry that you experienced child abuse with your parents. You didn’t deserve it, every child deserves loving parents and to be protected!

From experience, I can tell you that trauma therapy could be of great benefit to you. Even though it feels this way at the moment, you are definitely not broken.

It sounds like you experience a lot of anxiety as a result of your past. Do you do any self-care to lower your levels of anxiety?

Humans can develop a negativity bias. Gratitude practice might seem simple, but in time it can develop a new outlook.

Good luck with your aptitude test! I think your goal of getting a new apartment and a dog will bring you a lot of good experiences.
