Surviving wanting to THRIVE

[1LoveBucket]

I have zero family support and my friends have no idea what I’m going through. They are really associates and they have problems of their own and I don’t want to bring them down. I’m a product of child abuse all forms of abuse. I have drank a lot lately and it wasn’t helping me. It was only hurting me. I can’t afford therapy and it is very hard for me to sleep at night. I have four jobs and I am going to nursing school. I’m raising two teenagers on my own. I meditate, work out, journal, draw, listen to music, read everything I can think of to love myself emotionally. I can’t sleep at night. I don’t know what else to do so I thought I would try these online support groups. If anyone has ANY suggestions on how I can love myself emotionally other than what I’m already doing or knows someone I can talk to for free about it that can help. Please reply.

Hi- I’m sorry for all you are going through. I hope you can feel the love and support from this forum. Please don’t go through this alone, we are here for you. I hope you will get the help you need. I can see that you are doing your part to get better, keep up the good work and I hope you will remain hopeful.

Have you tried talking to any spiritual leaders in your church? They can give you free counselling and help you to be encouraged. I know it’s hard to be positive when someone is going through difficulties, but based in my experience, being thankful helps me to get through life easier. I pray that you will stay strong and not give up. Please update us, you are in my prayers.
