How did you conquer extreme psychological issues?

I was tortured by my mother from as far as I could remember till the age of 15 or so, leaving bruises and burns all over my body and scars that are still visible now that I'm in my late twenties. Today I'm like, meh, I learned my lesson, never was plugged to need unplugging, women are pure evil, I don't even see them as living creatures, I use them for sex only and get rid of them after I get it. It's no longer something that bothers me.

I don't know why the media makes a big of a deal of these psychological effects like "these issues need space", whatever that means. I guess human brains aren't the same.

See a therapist. You said you are generating lots of success so money shouldn't be an object. Right? I came from some violent beginnings myself (have the scars to prove it) and got through it all without going to a shrink but not everyone is created equal.

What I did was compartmentalize my personality. So I have Happy Aktiv, Angry Aktiv, Depressed Aktiv, Psycho homocidal Aktiv, etc. I visualized actually locking the negative parts in little cages. Then I can let them loose at my will as needed. Whenever I feel sad or depressed in any way, I visualize putting that person back into a cage and go lift as soon as possible. There's a bunch of underlying crap that happens when I do it but, fuck it, it works, ya know.

It's learned in your limbic system aka subconscience, and it affects your self image. It can be low self esteem, some negative belief, self limiting beliefs etc. Meditation and mindfulness helps a lot.

Also read Maxwell Maltz - Psycho Cybernetics, that book will change your life.

I CAN HELP YOU.

I was bullied for years in school and fucked me up quite a bit.

I got over it. Here's how:

You are likely insecure. About your body, your appearance etc. GO TO THE GYM. Give it a few months. I SWEAR IT WORKS.
READ. Reading gives you perspective and information.
Maintain a journal - it'll help you calm yourself.
Learn a martial art. It gives you so much confidence - just knowing that you can stand your ground when shit goes down.
Don't watch TV. TV feeds psychological issues.

See a therapist as Aktiv8r says. There is pretty common stuff that happens to people when they are abused and/or neglected. A therapist can help you examine where you are in your life and can help you to make adjustments to yourself that can make things a whole lot easier for yourself. There is a path to recovery here. Don't run from your problem. Stand up, get educated and take it on.

Best of luck!
