2011年5月7日 · Reading your items was thought provoking. There are some things that I can/do/..., too, but when I think about them, I don't feel that I like them about myself. I like them about other people and I know I should see them as good things in myself, but somehow I'm not yet able to like myself for those reasons. It's strange.

2021年7月21日 · That's my middle ground between the 2. It's where I stop punishing myself, and treat myself like anyone else who is a human being and has fundamental needs that need to be met. It's a state where I might not be going out of my way to be kind to myself, but I try and make a point of not doing anything that is unkind to myself.

2013年11月17日 · It's also okay that other people are who they are, but there are things I do and don't want to be around, that nourish or hinder me, and it's okay to name a boundary and enforce it. It's okay to cut people off when they're abusive, regardless of why they are. It's okay to love someone and not be able to be near them. It's okay to love myself.

2022年5月8日 · Animals as well. I had very strong positive and nurturing feelings towards animals (still do) and attached to how that felt for me and worked at doing things that helped me feel connected like that to myself. I loved tennis - so that as well helped me connect to 'love' and how it felt for me. I hope you are able to connect to how love feels for ...

2024年12月15日 · The wounds from that tumultuous relationship continue to shape my perceptions of love and trust, leaving me wary of opening up to others for fear of being hurt once more. Despite these internal struggles, I remind myself that my family's seeming detachment is not a reflection of their love for me.

2016年2月19日 · I've got a strong will to live, and I've learned to love myself. But things seem to have reached a new phase. Flashbacks are now common and easily triggered by things I once loved (I'm incredibly passionate about film, and Tarantino movies just have a special place in my heart), violence in movies and video games are no longer a pleasant ...

2013年12月10日 · I am hurting because of some things that have been done to me. I got a call today that is causing me pain. It is reinforcing my belief that I cannot trust others, but what this call did not do is, make me lose my reslove to love. They will not take that from me. I tell you this about myself so I can tell you: Fight.

2016年4月11日 · The list goes on but... It's so hard to forgive myself even when I know that I'm still hurting inside. Cause, I -love- animals and they've saved me just by being there for me. So it just feels weird to love animals despite the things I've done.

2019年3月1日 · By breaking things into manageable pieces, I’m able to come at things from different angles; take the stress off here, catch myself there, work on this piece here whilst this other one is too big right now, see where this one is feeding into …

2016年7月18日 · I just had a horrible things happen to me in my past. He always see's me when I'm upset, crying, feeling angry because I'm sensitive at times after the abuse I've been through, when I feel sorry for myself and when I'm self hating myself at times and other days I actually feel quite good and I love myself.
