I think finding some tools for dealing with those feelings of being rejected and abandoned by your parents would be a really great way to begin to cope and to not have to resort to hurting an animal.
Imagine living most of your life feeling like you're the worst person ever. That's the reality Mike Levine faced, and he opens up about it in this eye-opening episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour'. Host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Mike to explore the deep-seated shame and self-hatred that haunted him since he was a teenager, leading to a hospitalization at just 15.
Mike shares candidly about his ADHD, an emotionally distant upbringing, and the body dysmorphia that plagued him for years. He also dives into more personal aspects of his life, like cross-dressing and his experiences as a submissive male in kink relationships. But it's not all dark; Mike's story is one of resilience and transformation. He talks about how he found the courage to end an abusive friendship and began to embrace his unique identity instead of shaming himself for it.
This episode isn't just a discussion; it's a testament to the power of self-love and acceptance. If you've ever struggled with feelings of inadequacy or self-loathing, Mike's journey might just offer the hope and inspiration you need.
