Struggling, hoping…barely coping

I’ve been struggling with my mental health lately..been too many downs to count, and not enough ups. I’ve been dealing with attachment/abandonment issues, and I feel like I’m letting everyone I love or care about down. And that eventually, one way or another, I’m going to be like I always seem to be…alone, and by myself. Because they’ll all leave me.

I just need some caring words…

Challenge your thoughts 🙂 there's people here who'd miss you if you suddenly disappear. Also you have a whole lifetime to make those connections; trust me, people will connect.

K_T_ you are here for a reason. Don't allow your thoughts and feelings to

sabotage you. My own daughter suffered from abandonment/attachment disorder.

As a foster child she came into this world believing she was discarded by her biological

parents. Through my adopting her, I have learned that love is sometimes not enough.

She too has had a mistrust of family and friends that turned their back on her

I keep reinforcing the fact that she is worth fighting for within herself. Not everyone

is mistrusting. When the time is right and you are ready, you will meet the people that

are meant to be your forever friends and family. Believe in yourself as I believe in

you. I Care :) xx

thank you, that really does help. I just recently moved in with my dad, and have had a hard time with jealousy because he is with my stepmother. I’ve had to learn to share his time, attention, and affection. So, your words really touched me. And I thank you.
