I am so sick and tired of my significant other doubting my decisions. Immediately shoots my ideas for improvement of any kind. For myself, for our home, for our financial life etc. I am trying to boost my confidence and make decisions about everything in my life after huge trauma occured recently. I have never listen to myself or my gut and always have doubted myself.(from childhood abuse). This inability to believe in myself and believe I'm capable put me into some bad situations and not trusting myself to make decisions I ended up in therapy and diagnosed CPTSD from bad traumatic experiences. I don't usually get angry I usually cry but right now I've had it , I'm pi**ed off. It's my decision whether right or wrong I have to make decisions for myself. It's my life and I'm tired of letting everyone else run it because they don't think I can do it. No more self doubt! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm done !!!!! ABB

Hey there ❤️ Thank you for sharing this with us, I can tell that this has really been bothering you a lot

I just wanted to say that you're absolutely right - you're the one who knows you the best. You know what you need, what you want, and you are capable of thinking for yourself and for others. You don't need someone else to validate the decisions you make because you're capable of making good decisions. You are the one who decides your self-worth and makes your choices. You got this! ❤️

Dear hope, I appreciate your supportive post!! My severe childhood abuse killed my self worth( I have CPTSD) and I'm working so hard to be my authentic self and finding the strength to make decisions for myself as I never trusted my instincts which allowed me to be manipulated by others...no more!!.. Thx so much! ABB💜

@amiableBlackberry92 At least they diagnosed you with cptsd and not something more pathologizing because then they would blame any problems in your life on you. So that would be fun.

Good luck though I think you're on the right track
