LL, you poor woman. You have said so many comforting things to me, I ache when I hear such pain from you. You must stop referring to yourself in the third person!! You are real and you are hurting. I have seen great strength in you, great compassion in you, great honesty in you, and great kindness in you. Get rid of the referring to yourself in the third person and say to yourself:
"I am strong. I am compassionate. I am honest. And I am kind."
Oh, and I forgot the most important one, "I am loved."
Maybe you do not see that right now because you are hurting, but we can see it. For now you are just going to have to trust us. Also, please go do something for just yourself! Splurge on something!! Learn about something you have always wanted to. Please.
