Something I needed to see today

[Lostmyself65]

Sometime messages show up when you need to hear them the most and today was one of those days for me. I wanted to share this in case someone else needed to hear this also.

Sending love and light to all ❤

When you posted about your fear on my thread earlier it was what I needed to hear, that I was not alone in it. Why today was so scary I don’t know.

Thanks for sharing this one. This is hard for me, to allow myself to believe I am good things. Oh well, maybe some day.

That is so true....today I watched a documentary on this comedian who had multiple break downs over the years and finally crashed head on into a wall. The show was called; 'Cracked Up'. He said something very profound to me I thought....he said instead of saying those with trauma were mentally ill....they are really mentally injured.

This is also very relevant for me and feels like a much truer name of mental illness. I am going to make sure I put this on my watch list thank you for sharing. Sending wishes for a good day to you ❤

Mentally injured....great name for it! We are not ill; we are injured! Mentally ill makes it sounds like it's somehow our fault. Thank you!😊

I watched it last night and can’t stop thinking about it. I also had a breakdown and can’t remember most of my childhood. That documentary made me feel a little closer to stop blaming myself. Thanks so much for your post

It really is truly amazing....the heartbreak for all of us who are mentally injured too...and if you found any kind of help from his documentary like I did, it was like another piece to the puzzle... I recently had a major breakthrough as well....and it was horrible to have to realize what my mother allowed and did to me as a little girl. I knew a lot of it, but not this particular part of the abuse, so I know that you really need to be with someone like a therapist or someone who does really understand child abuse when you do these deep dives and stuff comes up.
