Paradoxically it's also the thing that creates the crushing anxiety when abused. One day at a time, be kind to yourself, life is a journey.

So true. When abused like I did, it created so many more problems than it solved. I wish I had the clarity to realize that in the moment.

It can be helpful to frame things from a perspective of self-discovery. You may uncover new truths about yourself and the world that you would otherwise never have found. It builds character, good luck!
