We're not who we were

If youre like me you wonder if maybe your past,(recent past or many years ago) is the reason you go through so much. Like maybe you deserve it. The only person that should ever worry about the past is one who has no guilt or remorse... Many of us live in just that..guilt... never learning to forgive ourselves and that adds to our mental state... its hard enough trying to love ourselves with anxiety/depression. We cant let past mistakes add to our struggles. So for today. Forgive yourself! Its okay. You're awesome. Youre better than you use to be. Youre amazing!

You're welcome! Exactly we cant change the past, nor should we live there. Just be a better you every day and accept that we are human and we ALL make mistakes. Learning to love yourself is by far one of the hardest things to do, especially when you suffer mentally. But We all just need to remember that we are here because WE MATTER! We are all SPECIAL.

I’m in recovery, and that means I’m trying to be the best “me” I can be. It has also meant that I’ve had a lot of ups and downs and backwards and forwards on my path. The path is not straight, that’s for sure.

Kat63 Im sorry youve been through/going through so much. I can only imagine how tough it is. Your path may not be straight, and Im sure youve suffered deeply along the way. But you are in recovery.. still fighting. Still trying. Still learning as you said to be the best of yourself. Your strength and courage are what makes you so special. Despite all obstacles you are still fighting. A true warrior!
