This section relates to many different issues that have touched my life and the lives of others. I am constantly struggling with issues that happened so long ago that still plague me today. I am on a search for wholeness and inner peace. Somedays I know I am close to finding it and other days I am filled with dread and despair. Most of the time however, I am on the path to recovery and well-being. Life is for the living and today is where we need to be living.
I believe I have a fairly healthy outlook now and have dealt with most of these issues via many hours of counselling, reading, workshops and lots and lots of venting. Still today though, it does affect the way I handle things and the way I have prepared and educated my own daughter. I have never instilled my own fears in her, only a healthy sense of awareness.
Sometimes we end up in a place and we don't even know how we got there in the first place. That is how easily depression or any form or manifestation of this can take hold of your life. You may not even realize you are in this state until somebody else sees it in you first. Whatever you do, remember, you are not alone and this is something that many people have and are still going through. The statistics are astounding!
Trust is something that is earned not given and when it is broken, the road back is long and difficult. You CAN heal yourself.....I am living proof! You must just take the bull by the horns and get real with yourself. Become pro-active in your own recovery and know this. Only one thing is truly predictable.........and that is change. You have the power inside of you! Believe in yourself. |
