Keep on pushing, no matter what it is you're going through.
I feel like I have came a long way, but there's just so much to work on. I'm scared of everything, and my hair is falling out due to anxiety/anorexia/depression.
I only feel safe at home in a small place.. If I'm around too many people I don't know what to do I freeze. I'm slowly getting over the feeling I was sexually assaulted.
Talking about it I feel like I'm not important, like it doesn't matter. Everyone tells me to move on like it's something so simple. I was also abused growing up, and emotionally blackmailed. I can't get a job because just being out in public scares me.
I also have a baby she keeps me going. She definitely helps me, she's my anchor. I take every step possible to make sure she doesn't ever go through what I did. I want to be normal, so that way she grows up knowing who she is, talented, beautiful, and worth every moment of her life.
Mine thing I also learned is don't stay quiet, talk, say what you feel. Eventually you'll feel heard.
Thank you for what you have shared here @learninglifethroughlessons....and its so good to hear that you feel you've come so far. Well done! Yes there's a way to go and its not so easy, but be encouraged.. just as you are an encouragement to others in what you are saying here.
And your baby is your anchor as you say which is lovely. How precious is that young life that you are nurturing and loving. And please keep talking and you will be heard. All the best.
