You Got This

needtochangewithyou profile image

Just wanted to encourage you, yes, you, to keep going. Life totally seems to suck a lot for some of us and more for others. Put the work in, therapy, exercise, medication, and the list goes on to meet your needs. I have been working on. myself for 30 years. I have anxiety and epliplesy. Always worried when the next seziure was gonna put me out. a few months ago, all the hard work I thought was for not showed that staying with the work bears fruit. It will happen for you, if you put the work in. Many of us wander and wonder why this and why that. What helped me was to acknowledge what literally is right now and do my best to stay in the awesomeness or begin work immediatly to change my state, whether it be mental or physical or both--for me it is mostly both! It may take 10 days or 10 years, but with the work, you got this.

Hopefully needtochange, we all will eventually reach that "aha moment".

A moment in time when everything we've put into our well being comes

into play. At that time, no matter how long it took, it was worth every minute.

Life is Amazing and worth the time to reach our goals. :) xx

Thank you for this post. I suffer from major depressive disorder, PTSD and adjustment disorder from childhood trauma. I've been working on myself for many many years because of the abuses that I suffered at the hands of my parents and others throughout my life and have been through every single abuse there is to go through which really sucks. I took my childhood trauma into adulthood which caused a lot of self-esteem issues and self-loathing issues as well because I just can't seem to love myself enough to put the work in at times. I know that I am a child of the good Lord above and he doesn't make mistakes so I'm enough, I'm worthy and I need to practice this positive self talk more often these days. I've begun to participate and support groups for mental illness and they help me a lot and I'm looking for local support groups as well and I am hoping to get a psychiatrist for a medication change because I feel that the medication that I'm on is no longer working properly so I am taking steps to better my mental health so I'm grateful that I'm at least doing that right now for myself. It helps to know that others in this forum and other groups I belong to understand where I'm coming from and know how I feel too. So that being said I guess I do have this don't I? I spend so much time beating myself up over things and not enough time congratulating myself on a job well done and I need to stop doing that and realize that none of us are perfect we all have flaws but we are lovable.
