Yes my confidence is gone.....
by: Anonymous

Yes my confidence is gone. And to cap it all, about 4 years ago I had a nervous breakdown that resulted in anxiety for 3.5 years! I have got over it now but for the first time ever, a nervous breakdown (I have had four in 30 years!!) stopped me from driving - and for long enough - I could not even get in a car!! That was a major problem as my parents live 60 miles away and were unable to get to me at that time too. But now I have gotten over that and can drive freely again! It took 2 years of starting from scratch as I had had panic attacks in the car and the fear was indescribable.

But why do I mention this you may be wondering? I mention it because it was the realisation that my dad had been emotionally abusive for most of my life, that brought it on. And looking at it, I think that this is linked to why I overeat too. My dad was never a dad to me. So its impacted on my marriage as well. All these things are linked to my overeating I believe.
