I know you're going through a lot lately, just keep in your mind that you're going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you.
Things we need to stop saying to people who have low self-esteem due to trauma:
"Just believe in yourself! The only opinion about yourself that matters is yours!"
"If they're so toxic, why do you care what they think?" (usually in reference to a family member)
"You're making excuses for yourself. Just go after what you want."
"Forgive and move on. Life's too short."
"If it happened so long ago, why do you still care?"
Trauma has complex effects on the brain, and it's not as simple as just "getting over it", so please stop and consider your words.
—And How to Heal From It
I just crave gentle love, gentle hands, gentle words, I just want someone to make me feel safe and calm. I want someone to make me feel it’s okay to open up it’s okay to feel anything and share anything with them. I want someone who makes life easier and doesn’t just let me survive but encourages me to live to the fullest. I want someone i can curl up in and cry when i want to. Someone who will put faith in me and make me more confident and proud make me accept myself.
Live and move on. It hurts and probably will for awhile, it might stop you to feel anything but emptiness, and it might make you feel like there is no other option available but to stand there and just give everything up. But darling, surely this is just an illusion. Fear and frustration is overwhelming you and it will only fade into oblivion once you’re done with it. The past is over, it’s done and dusted and there’s nothing you can do to bring it back. Release yourself from the attachment. You must claim the pieces left and lift yourself from the memories. It’s time to forgive, it’s time to turn the page and begin to live again.
