[QUOTE]Originally posted by SansNom: [QB] Wonderful thread, Heather :) I wish I had come across it sooner I absolutely agree with your statement that the process of healing from abuse/trauma can seem like an eternity. I used to berate myself constantly for it, for the fact that I considered myself to be emotionally "weak" and "useless". I still sometimes do that on days when I focus solely on problems that I still experience, on tasks that I have yet to complete, on days where I experience such numbness of feeling that I see no purpose in living; however, I make an effort to encourage myself too. I would congratulate myself for a job well done when I had accomplished something significant. And I would sit back and feel good about myself for a moment. :) Despite all the improvements, though, I still find myself struggling through so much. One of the things that I'm having trouble letting go is my notion that taking time to heal and recuperate is simply me being "lazy" and "wasting valuable time". I had been told the opposite from those who support me, but I can't bring myself to believe them......I see no reason why they would be okay with the fact that I'm vulnerable. Shouldn't everyone be telling me to "toughen up" instead? Wouldn't that help me to recover? I apologise for the insecure rant.....I guess I need to pull myself together some more before I report on my recovery process, as the bad outweighs the good at the moment :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
