Its really hard to move past things until you accept they happened. Sometimes your brain says youve moved on but your heart wont let you. Thats when I would honestly say time and talking to someone who is trained to help give you tools to repair all the damage really comes into play..

I have no idea what youve been through but I can promise you theres people out there who will help you as best you can. This site is honestly such a blessing in disguise. Some days when you feel like nothings ok people on here really give you hope.

You can move on from your past. Maybe consider finding a professional counselor then you can talk about your past and the counselor can help you find ways to move on. I'm sorry you are having a tough time but it will get better. Allow yourself time to move on. It may not happen immediately but each day can get better and better for you. Maybe consider writing your thoughts down in a journal. It may help you release some of the emotions that you are feeling. Things will get better. Best wishes.
