I'm New

Hi, I'm new here. I just recently got out of an abusive relationship, but I'm at an all time low, to the point to where I've considered taking my own life. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to uplift yourself?

It's great that you removed yourself from an abusive relationship. You're too important to not be treasured and appreciated. It may be tough, but be good to yourself. Is there something that you enjoy doing for a moment of distraction? You are important and worthy. Don't let anything or anyone else make you think or feel different than that. I hope you have a better day.

I think it's time to start feeling good about yourself, could you start with maybe something external like having a new hair do or treating yourself to something. I think the internal stuff will take time to deal with but maybe if you are feeling better about yourself you'll feel stronger to deal with the crap that's been left behind from an abusive relationship.

If a trip to the hairdressers to expensive maybe treat yourself to a bunch of flowers n some indulgent treat...a lovely dessert that normally you wouldn't buy as far to expensive or some bubble bath and have an at home spa night. I know it sounds superficial but I think this a nice starting point in loving yourself and feeling good about yourself again.

I have to say I loved a trip to the hairdressers after I left an abusive relationship, it felt like I was having any residue of him cut away from me and I was cleaned of all negativity.

I'm sorry you had to go thru an abusive relationship, I know the fear and emotional hurt last longer than the bruises but you can get through this, it just takes a little while to start believing in yourself again, please don't think about giving up on life because of this horrid person.

A big gentle hug to you

Jo

Abuse is s very aweful on a person. Thank God you are out. Now though you should really seek some counseling because it can affect a person terribly. Open up please to some close people in your life. Open up also never never be ashamed!!! You are lovely and special!

It's good you got out of the relationship, and I'm sure it wasn't easy to do. Now be good to yourself. Think of the things you would like to change,do or accomplish and start working on them. It will take time to heal but you will if you work at it. You are a wonderful creation who deserves happiness and life. Stay connected to positive people and remember how special you are.

Hey there!

I appreciate the fact that you decided to walk out of that abusive relationship. Pat yourself. I have one advice for you, ONE DAY AT A TIME.

There is so much in this world and in this life that you can experience. Things will surprise you, make you laugh.

Wake up and tell yourself that you are beautiful/handsome and that you have a purpose. Give yourself pep talks and try to make yourself laugh when you are feeling down. Take yourself on dates and bring yourself your favourite food.

There is nothing that person could have done that you cannot do for yourself. Be proud of your battles and your scars.

I’m sure you’ll get through this. Please just take one day at a time and every night count your blessing

Hugs to you.

Stay strong!
