Good feeling (long post)

[Survivor1687]

I made it through a difficult day. I'm not going to go into detail about why yesterday was such difficult day for me to get through because yesterday has now past and today is a brand new one but I will say, I didn't think I would get through it as well as I did and accomplish the small but meaningful goals I had set for myself. I am very grateful I found this place of support, for the kind hearted people here that have helped me cope, along with another online community that has offered me great support during a time when my support system has been very limited and not so great. During a very difficult time in my life when trusting ANYONE has been extremely frightening & challenging. This place is great, I'm going to continue reaching out here, attend support groups/meetings, taking in whatever I can, keeping an open mind, and continue to learn and grow in any way I can. I am determined to reclaim my life back, reclaim what I allowed people to take away from me, leaving me feeling broken and hopeless. I am becoming a stronger, better person each day, taking in whatever I can and using what I have gone through to help anyone I can in return, giving back, or 'paying it forward' if and whenever possible. Hurt people, don't always hurt people, like the saying goes... there's always two sides to a coin, people whom are hurting can also help build one another up and help each other learn and grow to be better human beings!! It can be a beautiful thing that this world absolutely needs more of!! This world doesn't always hafta be this dark and dreadful place to exist even if it feels that way at times. If there's gonna be good change in this world I want to help and BE a part of that change! I want to experience happiness again, I want to enjoy life again and am willing to do what it takes to get there. I truly feel I really just need some genuinely good, supportive people in my life, to help me along the way. I realize I can't do all this on my own and that good people/good friends in life are hard to find, blessings, & along with anything good in life, never promised. My hope is, If I keep reaching out, keep setting goals, big or small, keep trying to interact as scary & difficult as it may be, that good change and better days can absolutely be in my near future. Finding people with the same mindset would only make things so much better. Thank you for allowing me to express myself here and share not only the difficult times but the good ones and small accomplishments as well. ((Hugs)) to anyone struggling right now with whatever it may be. Don't give up. Keep fighting your battle, reach out to me if you would like and I will absolutely try my best if and when possible to help support you. 💗
