CBT- Cognitive Behavior Therapy for 2 years helped me cope with my PTSD from child abuse, domestic abuse, and severe neglect as a child. It is the only therapy that I have tried that worked and helped alleviate depression, anxiety, and self-loathing/insecurities.

Therapy can be expensive, but many places offer it on a sliding scale. I found an amazing therapist (monitored grad student) at our local college Psychology department that charged me $5-15 per session (whatever I could afford) and waived the fees for 6 months when I couldn't afford even $5. I was on the waiting list for 2 months before being accepted, but it was worth it.

I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful day and will treat yourselves with kindness and compassion. The struggle is real.
