I am a survivor and no longer a victim. I will go thru whatever it takes to be whole.
The warrior in me is ever present even thru the most painful and difficult of times.

I belive on working towards the ability to say "I have survive." I no longer am being actively abused, but my life is not stable enough for me to say that I am truly where I need to be and I have dealt with everything I need to deal with.

some days I feel like a victim because I feel defeated and weak. Other days I feel like a survivor because I remember I have hope and I'm still fighting.

definately a survivor because i use my experience to help others and dont feel sorry for myself for what has happened.

I have a pin on my purse that says: "Be a survivor, not a victim." This is my philosophy for life. I lived after my abuse. I'm driving on. That makes me a survivor. I'll never be a victim ever again.

Survivor- the worst is passed because that is exactly what it is - the past. Nothing that is going to happen to me now is ever going to be as bad as that was.
I use my experiences now to help others and to work with professionals raising awareness and understanding. That means what happened to me now has a positive purpose instead of haunting me and making me miserable.

Not a dumb question a very valid one. I think I spent years blocking because I couldn't face the thought of others viewing me as a victim. I am me , with a past a present and a future, thats all there is to it.

    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...
