I did the worst I could do

[sad_watermelon]

While being in a relationship I did the worst that I could do - I lost the real me. From small things like not using makeup anymore (all I ever used was lipstick and mascara) because my ex didn't like them, to not enjoying doing things I love, because I know he doesn't approve them. Now that I am out of this relationship for a few months already I am looking for the real me again. How can I find her?

And how can I make myself the "main character" in my life and stop always looking at my phone if my friends texted, wondering what I'll do if people in my university don't like me, if I am all alone...?

For me, all the answers came from a program I started one year ago. It gave me the action plan and community and support system I had always been looking for to help me find myself. It’s saving me from a life of enslavement to other people and to “*~Romance~*”. We don’t do promotion so I won’t post info publicly but I’ll gladly give you (and anyone else interested) all info and links in pm, let me know. In the meantime, hang in there, you are not alone. In fact we are thousands, maybe millions who understand and feel for you. Take care

Do what feels like you. You are free.

I really don’t know how to find yourself again. But after the time has passed you changed and are not the same person you used to be. Start fresh. Think about how you would like to be and work towards that. Do you like wearing makeup or find it time consuming? Do what makes you happy.
