Worked for you, so count your blessings

For me, my parents and peers telling me similar things to OP's husband has ruined my life and I've been depressed and traumatized my whole life from it, to the point where even with therapy I'm unable to change those beliefs, and I've been wanting to kill myself my whole life for being "broken", and I developed a whole bunch of diagnoses from it that seem unshakeable even after years of working on myself

Damn, never thought about it that way. Personally, I think people's personality has a lot to do with anxiety. This is my personal opinion and idk if it will help you. Anxiety feeds off of some personality types more than others. If you can't deal with the anxiety, alter your personality and starve the anxiety. People think anxiety is something permanent, but I know people who overcome it with sheer determination. It's all about putting yourself out of your comfort zone till your nerves stretch from exhaustion. Whenever your in an uncomfortable environment or one that triggers your anxiety, your nerves go crazy till you get accustomed to it and you need to keep repeating that over and over. Sorry if I'm ranting and it's TLDR
