Hopeless. My body traumatizes me. My left leg shows its history of tortuous veins and lymphedema. I tried on clothes tonight. So close to being cute, but leg is disfigured.
so close to being talented and functional, but not. I used to believe I had gifts to give the world, but I failed. My past behavior and sins haunt me. I've tried and everything seems emotionally hollow. I was upset last night and asked God for a sign that He loved me. I saw a Hispanic man wearing a Herbalife t shirt ( I'm on Herbalife) and then I saw my mother at another store and she bought me a swimsuit. Guess that's a sign. I realized how scattered she is when she couldn't even put her PIN number in and felt so guilty for my past anger at her.
I want to thank everyone here for being so supportive of my posts and helping me think. I really might have become suicidal if I hadn't processed events of last year.

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
Glad you found support for the processing. A little help from my peer support network really, literally, has saved my life more than once. More times than I can count.
I also feel something else, and hope it is ok to say it. want to share that I am feeling this so strongly to you (and to me). the cute you that you see in those clothes is real and true - she is there. I say go with it, go!! there is the whole rest of you that is that cute girl :O) let her shine, she is right there and she is real. scars are part of our package and tell a little bit of our story, but your scars are not your whole story.
maybe you can let her shine a little and you will feel so much better? I don't know, I am only me but wanted to share and I care. hugs, Lilly
