I can relate to every point you made and I feel like i am in a Constant Anxious Fight Mode since i was 7 and I am a Lot older Now and I STILL Struggle with Depression because of the Trauma I experienced from my Dad specifically, being rejected, dismissed, Critical always with me Not feeling worthy of Love because my Dad rejected me emotionally..

This is the first time I have seen or read anyone discussing that some BPD/Narcissist parents actually manipulate thier children to show fear. I've always wondered why my mother would do things to intentionally frighten me, like sneaking away from me in a store and then jumping out with a scary mask on to startle me once I realized she was gone. The effects remain in my nervous system, but it was really good to hear that this is a "thing" and it wasn't just something I was mis-rembering.

I lived most of my life with extreme anxiety... because of her

[@jameswayton2340]

I now understand why i'm ridiculous good (at least sometimes it feels like that) at reading people. Like, i don't even need to know things like a body language expert ''oh the eyebrow go's up with 1mm and there is 32.5% tension on the right cheek of this person so he/she is lying.'' No... But i can sometimes simply ''feel'' that a certain expression is ''not natural''. Sometimes i don't know what part of the face it even is but i know: Something about this is not natural, and the words spoken do not match the expression i'm seeing. And this can be such a burden. Because 1: You can be wrong about what you think you see. I'm not a expert. And 2. And so because you don't know, now you are sometimes forced to ignore what you just witnessed. Wich is impossible.

It's terrifying to know I was raised with all 7 of these things happening continuously and yet I thought I had a, "good childhood" because I had friends who seemed to have it worse...thank you again for all you do Dr. Kim!

Thank you so much for your videos! I have a few things that work to calm my anxiety issues, depending on my energy levels and needs for the day or moment. 1. Water and deep breathing, focusing on the feeling. Alternately, I sing, as the breath work required for singing comes from the diaphragm and opens my chest, throat, sinuses, and mind. Meditations fit in this category, as well. 2. Mindless painting-- by putting the paint brush in my hand and moving it however my body tells me, I'm getting out of my head and into the moment. Then, I start seeing patterns, which allow me to see what I'm painting and add details. 3. Writing-- I'm a dark psychological fantasy writer, which started as an alternative for prolonged exposure. It's taken me seven years to get to where I am emotionally, but I went from panic attacks multiple times a day to a peaceful, yet shaky confidence that comes back quicker after a panic attack. I'm in therapy, as well, and have found my purpose, which drives me forward instead of staying stuck in the anxiety, even when my body shakes. 4. Bravery points--I love treating life as an adventure. So, I allot myself 3 bravery points a day, which includes discussing painful topics with my husband, sharing a story or a book I wrote, going out of the house when I'm prone to agoraphobic tendencies, talking to people, commenting on KZbin videos, etc. I've earned my three already today by submitting a short story to a Reedsy contest, discussing a trigger with my husband, and posting this comment. I have two appointments outside of the house today, which I can use as extra points for the days when I struggle more and need to rest. Videos like yours have helped me solidify Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools that I've had all my life, yet forgot about as a result of DPDR.

This video was very helpful to me. For some reason it was a high anxiety day. I'll go to the sauna tonight and try to do some cardio before hand (Zooma). Oh well, It is what it is. Tomorrow will be a better day I hope.

My late mother was extremely abusive, she did ALLOT of damage to me, the mental/emotional was the worst and for 20+ years I have suffered with depression/anxiety/suicidal thoughts because of her! She died 5 years ago and I still feel the same. I've questioned my sexuality since my teens and even at 43 I'm not 100% sure. Intimacy makes me feel SICK to my stomach, I don't want anyone to get that close to me because I'm scared of being abandoned(something my mum did to me as a child allot) I have only been sexual with one guy to this day, and at the time I pushed him far away from me cause I was scared of getting hurt.The infatuation I had for him for about a year was to high risk for me so I ghosted him out my life. I also replayed our encounter on loop things got so bad that I attempted suicide multiple times for two years to make it stop. I have put myself in that situation again, that was my best decision.
