Hi Cat. It sounds like you could benefit from some therapy to get you on the road to healing. Since you posted in this forum, can you tell me what negative thoughts you want to challenge? We can help you with that.

Hi, I am new to this, I am a 31 year old who has dealt with a great deal of stress in my life. First of all my childhood was very abusive, as a result, my father died when i was 11 from a drinking related disease. As a result of that, my mother became an unfeeling person that had no love or no feelings for anyone. I tried to escape this life time and time again but was unable to. I find in my adult life, I have seeked out people who have caused harm instead of good people. Including boyfriends. Everything that I attempt to do always ends in disaster. This past year and a half I have dealt with a breakup of a long term relationship, a demotion which led to being let go a year later, Have moved 7 times, have had all my belongings given away from a past landlord, and now I am living with my mother, who now can't deal with anything at all. As a result, I have ended up emotionally numb and would like to start enjoying my life again. I have tried doing things that I once enjoyed doing but can't seem to enjoy them anymore. I just don't feel due to all the heart ache and loss. I don't know what to do or how to do it. Please help.. Thanks Cat
