    Depression. My meds got switched in 2018 and it melted away. My life is infinitely better now.

    Losing papa slowly and seeing him get bedridden and losing all his senses. I thought I will never get over the trauma.

    my narcissistic ex the on and off cycle with her, going from loving to heartless/monster. wish i was exaggerating but she was such a ruthless person. every second i would move on the slightest after SHE broke up with me she would come right back and miss me and be the person i feel in love with. that cycle happened probs 7-8 times. she knew how to get to me and i couldn’t resist. thought she destroyed was. i think cuddling with my friend recently saved me. it made me realize what care and affection is supposed to feel like. i’m going to try to pursue things with her once i heal a little bit. but it was a wake up call for what i deserve

    My mom asked me if I was suicidal. I internally freaked out, and told her no. But at the exact same time, decided that if she pushed in any way shape or form, like asking if I was sure, I could talk to her, or anything like that, then I would open up at least a little bit. Instead, she said ” oh thank god, I knew I didn’t raise somebody that weak”

    Lost my dad to car crash when I was 18. It was tough but I got over it. Loosing my mum at 35 I was very, very close to was extremely hard however. I struggled for a long, long time to overcome that grief and truly have never been the same since. That was 17 years ago and I’m truly amazed that it’s true what they say – time heals everything!

    The death of my father. He was almost 99 and died with his faculties intact and under the best possible circumstances.
    However… it gutted me. It was a good five years before I was myself again. That was despite therapy, medication and an incredible support system.
    It wasn’t something I could quantify or explain.
    My older brother, who became the “patriarch “ also had an incredibly difficult time.

    Heartbreak – Let go of people I used to be very attached to. Now it just feels like a half forgotten dream.

    I regained sensitivity in two fingers… I had a big fracture in my arm and a nerve was very damaged and over time like 10 years it was repaired

    One time, drunk cheating. I thought i had gotten over it. I even married him years later and had our 3rd child. But it’s been nearly 12 years, and I still think about the betrayal sometimes. I clearly grew up, and my mind has changed cos I dont think I’ve healed at all.

    My mother’s abuse, I am even looking after her now. Her behavior was not about me, she probably also has some trauma of her own she is not aware of or ready to face. I decided to be compassionate instead

    Attention seeking personality. I wasn’t a great person in high school and being bullied by other students and some teachers made me do irrational and irresponsible things that backfired. I nearly failed a few classes and a lot of this was driven by abusive parents, which only fueled me to keep being worse and miserable. I struggled with my identity in the world. I lost lots of friends and respect which wouldn’t have happened if I had just been myself. Moving away and starting a new life honestly really healed me from that and I was able to find out who I truly was without worrying what people think of me. I graduated high school with a 2.3 and once I moved to a new town and went to college, I graduated with a 3.9. I ended up becoming a secondary teacher myself, and my goal is to do my best to support students who feel like they’ve failed everyone around them and doing my best to help turn their lives around because it’s not too late. (And mayyyybe teach a little bit of english)

    Healing is a journey, and sometimes the wounds still plague you from time to time. But honestly, I’ve healed a lot and will always be healing from childhood trauma, specifically emotional neglect that was challenged with physical violence as a response.

    I decided to tear down the survival walls I built, and slowly brick by fucking brick rebuild myself with more resilience, grace, and understanding.

    Depression. I dealt with it for most of my life and truly believed I would experience it forever but now it’s been two years depression-free and I’ve never looked back !!

    I was sexually assaulted by 2 separate partners at 2 different times of my life, but in both of those cases, they were the Most Important Person in my life & it was difficult to accept what they did.

    At this time, I’ve not only accepted it and moved on, but I’ve healed. I’ve moved on from them. Not saying I never think about them or get upset over the actions, but they don’t encompass such a major part of my life. They’re autumn leaves, and I’ve walked away
