>Discovered my extreme anxiety issues are because my ego is trying to prevent me from realizing I resent my father and his psychological hold over me

What are some fiction or non-fiction books that explore this topic?

Hate to say this OP, but anxiety is rarely pinned down to one specific cause. It's also more of a process, not something you easily change or figure out suddenly

But yeah maybe check out Hamlet or something like that

>figure out suddenly

It took me years of feeling horrible and not knowing why to figure this out

Chronic anxiety issues are unironically due to repressed emotions

[Anonymous No.20946568]

>>20946563
Then release those emotion, OP, you don't need a psychologist.

Tbh the main reason I posted this thread was because I truly genuinely believe what I wrote in the OP and this realization has me feeling the best I've felt since it all first started. The intrusive thoughts and body anxiety are subsiding, but it's still pretty bad and I want to know where to go from here. Do I tell him to feel better? I don't know if it will go away on its own because its been so bad for so so long and I don't like how he treats me

The abuse of caffeine and alcohol depletes B1 vitamin. B1 supplementation is used in ADD/ADHD for similar reasons (as well as insomnia). Luke: 14:27 -- suppose you're not in the wrong, what then?

I know but I don't want to be one anymore and I'm looking for solutions. I didn't ask for these issues and blamed myself my entire life

I’m the same way but with my mother. I’m 20 years old and she still treats me like a kid. She actively works against me becoming independent and then turns around and blames me for not living on my own (she taught me virtually zero life skills growing up). I think it’s because my dad left when I was young and I’m her only child. My anxiety is debilitating at this point.

[Anonymous No.20947421]

Same anon. The anxiety is so bad that I'm unable to stand on my own as a person even though that's all I want. I have this overwhelming sense that I'm "not allowed" to do anything that I can't shake. What is yours like out of curiosity?

[Anonymous No.20947533]

>"not allowed" to do anything
That nails it pretty well. I feel like I have to look for my mother’s approval in everything I do, like she’s an invisible specter inside of me. I never feel good enough for her. This constant feeling of shame follows me around everywhere I go, which makes interacting with people a chore. My confidence is almost nonexistent. I think I will just have to power through it until I can escape the web she has me trapped in and become my own person.

Recently went through the same process. All my years in middle/high school I was misserable. After I graduated and everything was over it took me 2 months to think everything true and realize why I was this way.

My mom was similar now I have a whole team gaslighting me over my progress as an adult. I'm 20 years older than you and its frustrating. One thing though my dad at least is supportive of what I do. My mom is just a cunt

What the fuck are you on about?

I have this too, and I really couldn't tell you if it's the effect of how I was raised, or if it's a symptom of autism. It's like I'm always waiting for someone to help me get from one routine to the next, because I don't have the energy to break cycles on my own. Even if it's something like wanting to install a piece of software, sometimes I will just sit there, and look at the file for months. I don't know why the push to actually do a thing is so hard.

You are absolutely right with feeling this perception. The truth is that, you will never be happy until you forgive both your father and mother. The reason for all the unhappiness in the world is people resent their mom and dad, repress it and never get over it.

Read this book - Complex PTSD by Pete Walker

Work on those issues for a while, and then pick a religion of your choice and you'll actually understand how God works in the process of healing. You'll unlock a whole new world of experience and meaning.

Good luck. And fuck all those retards who berate you in this thread. I wrote a 100 poems after staring my healing post a similar realisation, I understood what life and love truly meant.

You simply need to ask for forgiveness and also be willing to forgive those you resent, and your "anxiety" will magically go away.

I feel this so much. It's almost like the real self is chained up within the false self, clawing and reeling to separate and be free and I can feel the divide.
