Hello all,
Everytime I think of my father or step-monster and siblings I find myself getting this knot in my stomach that almost makes me sick. I keep thinking of the past and I know this is part of my anxiety. Is it anxiety or just sick to my stomach from their bs that I had to put up with.
I walked away from them last year, after finding out my father, who asked me to keep a secret from step-mom about finding my birth mom because of her jealousy rages. Keeping it quiet for 2 years my dad decided to use me as a scapegoat. They all don't want anything to do with me because in their sick minds I owe my step mom and am in the wrong to find my birth mom. I am a grown adult 39 years old, married with kids. Who are they to tell me what I can and can't do.
Now I find myself doubting and blaming myself and feeling major anxiety all the time. I know I need help because this affecting how I deal with my kids and husband and I really don't want my immediate family to be dysfunctional in any way. Please someone tell me what to do I feel like I am on the road of destruction.

well, i took two communication classes back in college and very much enjoyed them. i told my therapist how i want my outgoing personality back that i have been working on speaking to people (not a crowd) using what i was taught in class.
i told her it is based on anxiety and lots of fear that i go in and out. when i speak, i dont speak from the beginning, middle, and end (i know sounds weird). i speak in details first introductory later on. ppl get very confused by my way of speaking.
i have been working on anxiety/fear for a long time. ppl can hear the fear in my voice when i speak instead of being so peaceful and full of life which was killed long time ago. i told my bf how much longer do i have to wait in order to be comfy speaking to people?
it doesnt help for job interviews especially panel interviews. this is why i can't take sales jobs speaking to people because i clam up like a lil girl! of course, i have no interest in sales jobs no money in it but in the past i had an interest.
