I am 23 and have not really developed coping skills. When typing that I’m wondering if what I’m talking about is truly a skill that I desire. I have been feeling untouchable like I could never get sick or never be hurt, I could drink alcohol or numb away things that were stressors. Now that I am dealing with some unknown pain and spending a lot of time at the doctor I am trying to give myself love but I give myself negative thoughts which end up hurting me and causing stress and physical pain. How can i find the path to self love when i am worried about things i cannot control. I think i want peace but I keep thinking regret, anger towards my parents for abandoning me when i was 16 because they were on drugs.. i feel worried about my landlord kicking me out because i have a pitbull i didnt tell her about but i didnt have a place to live that allowed pitbulls and couldnt imagine abandoning my dog the one whose shown me unconditional love.
