How do I stop projecting my problems on to others?
As a child I was emotionally neglected and now if I see someone even sort of neglecting their child in some way I lash out, become angry and can't think rationally. I just automatically assume the worst of them and believe they are also emotionally neglecting them, even if they aren't. Again I can't get myself to think rationally in the moment, what can I do to stop projecting my problems on to other people? I am not longer in therapy or on medication (haven't been for a year) because my insurance no longer covers mental health so getting psychological help is not an option. I am still trying to find a psychiatrist but no luck finding one that is affordable yet.

To feel concerned is good, but what do you hope to achieve by lashing out? You don't seem to feel better for it, and I assume the recipients of your anger don't take your comments well?
There must be a better way of channelling your understandable reaction into something good - I am not sure what though. |
