i am learning to love myself wholly and earning to not seek validation in others. I am learning me

I have learned that i am not so alone as i thought i was

I've been clean of self harm for five months now, and this is almost the longest I've ever been clean in nearly five years.

Maybe I was born for a reason. I have to stop thinking that I'm NOT here for a reason.

I've finally healed enough to start doing yoga again. I took my time with the different poses to find what felt good. It was a good step back into the practice.

there is no shame in asking for help. getting help with luandry, dishes, cleaning, running kids around etc..... help is a good hting

I actually just dont know. I;m not crying yay

Deleted every photos and messages of my ex. Which hurt but I feel a lot better now :)

I moved on. Second semester of college was a torrent of confusion and classwork. My first semester went very well, and I was on my way to the future. I even had a pharmacology course (yay!). Then I relapsed. I was never upset that he assaulted me. For Christ's sake I was six. I couldn't remember how I felt. I was just dying on the inside for something my parents, boyfriend, sisters, church, and life in general couldn't give me. His apology. I took it out on my boyfriend. I took it out on my family. I took it out on my own body. I blamed myself. My grades fell and now I'm at risk of being rejected by one of the nation's top Pharm programs. But in this moment, as the dim streetlight outside silhouettes the figure of my sleeping cat in the crook of my waist and dances off the ice in the water on my bedside desk, I can smile and thank God because I am so fortunate to be Alive. Which is something that I know he will never revel in as deeply as me. It's mine.

Hi everyone. :)

I'm a newbie here. What brought me here was the heavy loads of works I need to complete in few month, say ^work^ stress. But I'm actually a PhD student in my final year. I have a harsh deadline for completing my thesis while I need to find a job. renew my visa and stay sane and happy by maintaining my social life.
