I’m Sorry

I’m sorry, I’m broken…All of these are how I felt most of my life. Growing up, I was never good enough for anyone, including myself. Adding to everything else was anxiety, depression, and shyness. I never had a “good” relationship. I also went through a suicidal phase but never wanted to discuss that with anyone until I went through therapy.

Therapy and medication can only do so much. You have to want to get better as well. My psychiatrist at the time was like a mad scientist. I tried so many antidepressants and other meds that just drugged me up and if anything helped minimally. I was able to get quite a few medications put on my allergic list that caused major complications.

I get started writing a new blog topic and then forget what I was trying to even say. The main topic was going to be that I feel I’m not good in anything. My writing style, grammar, punctuation, paragraphs, hopefully not any typos but maybe words changed by auto-correct, and even topics may not be very good. I try to write topics that I have gone through and use a lot of inspirational quotes to help keep me going.

They say that you can’t love anyone until you learn to love yourself. I, for one, do not believe that at all. Maybe because I’m an empath. Empathy will be a topic at another time though.

I wanted to turn my story into something positive but it took me to my mid 50s to get to a good place in my life. I truly hope it doesn’t take as long for others. Please don’t let any of these issues make you give up on life. I am proof, life does get better. I did have some very short term periods of happiness in my life prior, but never consistent. My story is not over yet but I honestly feel that the best years of my life are still yet to come. Please stay positive!
