Every day is a new day, and the old ones are gone and past. Yes, those days helped form the way you turned out: but you've got a bright new start, and now You get to decide how you turn out. It gets better, especially as long as you want it to, and work to make it so, even just the tiniest bit each day.

Also, therapy is always recommended.
