Lost

Feeling damaged, broken & lost.

I been there many times. Sometimes you have to realize your not lost you are where you are supposed to be. And things will come together like a puzzle when it’s time. Must have patience. . That sounds strange I know. Remember one thing you are not damaged. That’s impossible. You are priceless and if people don’t accept you as you are than that’s not your problem. Other people’s opinion of me is none of my business. So I feel like you been hurt badly I could be wrong here. I say let your spirit be free. If you want to do something do it. Keep your head up!

Thank you for replying. You are correct, I have been hurt badly in many ways. I’m falling apart and I don’t know how or what to do from here. I’m on meds, for years, it’s not enough. I have always been a caring person, maybe that is a fault....It’s been a particularly rough week for me. Just NEED (not a want, a NEED) some peace.

Thank you for listening!

Don’t stop being you because of other people. I have a friend like who is very caring and has been hurt very bad in the past in her relationships and if I’m not mistaken here. You probably give a lot of yourself to people and are sweet to them. Yet they treat you like crap anyway. I would say they are not the one for you. Toxic people like to hurt good people because they do not like themselves and are very insecure. You Stay strong. Maybe writing down all the good things about you might help. Make a list of all the good things you’ve done ✅ for others. And this will help you see you did nothing wrong and you can clearly see there is nothing wrong with you. If you are experiencing anxiety or bad thoughts I usually tell people to remember. You are not your thoughts. They can not be trusted because they change all the time. And pay attention to the ones that lie to us. Maybe apply that to when you feel broken and damaged, bad about yourself. Remind yourself those are not your thoughts( they are lies)Your not your thoughts or feelings. You are separate from them.

Just found your mail. Join the group it is large, so many of us have been or are going down that road, I too several times. My therapist taught me not to care about what people say or think, that is their problem. We must guard our own mental health, still feel free to give and do, but with reservations. You are a special person with your own gifts, with a right to live your life the way you want to. Other people can be jealous, that is just a sign of their own insecurity. and their way of trying to control you. You are not damaged, or broken, going thru a rough patch now, you will learn and grow, I did. I read a great book many years ago that I like to recommend, it helped me a lot, it is still in print, amazon has it used/new. I still use some of the lessons I learn from it. It is by Dr. Scott Peck, "The Road Less Traveled" it was in the top ten seller list for 7 years.

As for feeling lost, I can understand that, you have been battered, be extra kind to your self, do some Yoga if you can, I love Hatha Yoga, it is calming and soothing, good for body and mind. Try some meditation, also great for the mind. Can you go for walks out in the country or a park, get some fresh air and sunshine, we need the vitamin D. Write to us, we will listen, we offer support, encouragement, love and Big virtual hugs......
