Hi Rosalita, I can relate to seeing a distorted self in the mirror…of being afraid that others will somehow know how “bad” I am on the inside…in reality, when I tell people my story, they generally treat me with respect—they respect how far I have come and how much I have had to fight to get where I am at. I try real hard to internalize their positive feelings about me. I still sometimes fight that person in the mirror and I still sometimes feel like something is wrong with me, but those times are growing further and further apart from one another. Getting in touch with your anger can be a positive thing. You have a right to be angry—it is a normal and natural emotion. I am glad you shared with us. Trusting others is a good step towards healing. Welcome to PsychCentral.
