Hi Jakub

I’m sorry to hear that you had a difficult childhood.

Congratulations on finishing law school, getting a job in a very prestigious law firm, and soon to be moving into your first house alone. You have achieved so much in your first decade of being an adult! It’s honestly amazing!

I’m sorry to hear that your job is challenging and stressful and you suffer from a feeling of doom.

There is a phenomenon that happens with people. The feelings that they experience as children their brain has a tendency to gravitate to.

I had to do work to disprove the feelings of doom to realise that I have a persistent anxiety as a result of the abuse I endured. Understanding that the feelings aren’t true, that it is just anxiety is much less painful than believing that you are doomed. I disproved these things by looking at my fears and comparing the outcomes.

Practicing self-care and learning to self-soothe is important for helping manage anxiety.

One of the things that helped me most, other than therapy is having a lot of good experiences. Try to meet lots of good people, have good memories. You deserve to be happy and have good experiences and have lovely people in your life.

Love and best wishes! 🙏❤️
