i was just wondering how many others who have suffered abuse also have other problems, I smoke to much but then that replaces sleep which i dont do much of, i have an eating disorder and also issues around self worth. i have self harmed and attempted suicide once. I could go on but whats the point, if i dont like me why should anyone else?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
i used to self harm and use drugs, its all a way to numb out the pain od remembering, in order to stop that stuff, you have to deal with the abuse.
I have an eating disorder, used to self harm, but also sabotage any good things that come my way.
At least I used too. :0
Hug for you.
I would say to everyone in the group that has baggage, you can heal yourself!! YOu just have to learn self worth!
With love!!
I have made progress in counselling. I am 13 years clean and sober now. I've been smoke free for 10 years. My depression is under control and my PTSD is much more manageable than it was before. I'm volunteering, preparing to go back to work. I've lost weight and am trying to get in touch with my healthy sexuality. I still struggle with relationships, but have hope that I can learn to trust again.
So, things can get better caf. We are not fated to a life of living hell. There are things we can do to improve the quality of our life, but it takes time and tough choices.
A lot of the positive changes in my life have happened since I started removing toxic people and situations from my life. I seemed to acquire them for awhile. lol Gah. Talk about offering myself up as a victim.
Well, I am making healthier choices now...and I do take some steps back occasionally on my journey, but overall, I'm moving ahead.
I hoe this gives you some hope, caf, that you can reclaim those lost parts of yourself, too. There is so much to love about you, if only you'd share it with others...and most importantly...yourself. And I'm not being trite. That's where it all starts, by risking seeing yourself in a different light.
Yea, I have an eating disorder on/off anorexia which I feel worse at times because it's suppose to be a female disease, bi-polar, ACOA, self harmed and attempted suicde, extreme isolative behavior, self-hatred at times.......,.....,,,,yea, I can go on too.
I am trying to love myself today for who I am today, all of me. If I can try it's a good day.
