SS, I want to tell you a story. I was helping someone on here some time back. We would write back and forth everyday. I could tell he respected me a great deal.
One day, a friend of mine posted something to him and asked him what he would write to help this person. It was a post from a woman who was in a very bad way. She blamed herself for everything. She had very low self esteem. She had issues from her childhood. She was depressed and full of despair.
I remember reading this post and thinking - oh that poor woman. I feel so badly for her.
Until I realized....it was my first post to this board. The man I was helping didnt believe it...and then he got it.
I am telling you this to let you know that you can get through all the muck. You can get to a place where you feel good about you and your life. You can heal and grow.
It takes time and patience and resilience. It takes hope and hard work. But most of all - you just have to believe in the possibilities.
