healing means taking things step by step sometimes you get forward sometimes you step back. everything’s a process
Report
Healing is knowing that you are worthy, lovable, forgivable, valuable, smart, capable, funny, wanted, needed, strong, & so much more. It’s knowing that all the messes are now testimonies. It’s knowing you survived everything that tried to break you. It’s knowing that you should never give up. Always let your light shine and be yourself. Your people are going to love you for you so you don’t have to change anything about yourself.

I’m STILL healing, and every day is work. It will never completely go away, but seeking help, and working on it every day is how we get there.

Hope will kill you, hope is a cruel lie they give to people when the truth is to unmarriable.

Healing means not having flashbacks, being comfortable moving forward, not feeling stuck.

I had a couple friends tell me about this guy that he was cool and i should talk to him. So we talked for about 3 weeks. on (Date)my life changed. The guy i met again wasn't the same guy i met weeks before. But i trusted him and just wanted to talk. He told me his mom wanted to meet me so i decided to go. his mom acted weird also. i said hi to her and she didnt say much back. this guy told me hey i want to show you where i sleep downstairs. i followed him down stairs and alot happened. he tried strangling me by pinning me up the door way by my neck and then he assaulted me. I walked home and i should have called 911 but sadly i didnt intill the next day i am so scared and lost now i cant trust anyone. I feel alone and not wanted by anyone. I have self harm but there was thoughts of it. I am calling today to talk to someone to get the help i need. never trust anyone from the internet they are up to no good.

Therapy. Drawing boundaries. Reading up on abuse and identify things I can and cannot control. Going for the right relationships.

For me healing is focusing on bettering myself for a better future and life. It takes time but it is very possible even small things like reading or doing self care is healing. Healing has no specific defenition and can be done by anyone.

You are loved and you are needed. You deserve love that doesn’t hurt.

Healing for me means understanding that it’s not linear that some days are going to be rougher than others, but most importantly healing for me was the recognition that it wasn’t my fault for a really long time. I blamed myself.
Report
Smiling again with love in my heart for myself and the world.
