I never had the abuse issue you did, but I can say I have been a worrier. I usually look at things for a worst case scenario and contingency plan from there. I do talk myself out of the loop as I tell myself that worrying has never seemed to change anything for the better or worse.
It took a lot of courage to tell your story. I am glad you did.
Thank you @old-guy-photos..that means a lot to me! It's the first time I've spoken about it outside family and the counselor. I've felt like my Soul was telling me to tell my story the last couple of months and it's scary doing so. I've started to try talking myself out of some worrisome events recently and it does help some of the times! xoxo
