"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning." - Mahatma Gandhi

For now on I will be trying to get a blog in every other day about how I'm dealing with everything on a daily basis. I some might think this is easy and it wouldn't bother them. Well, we all deal with things differently. I will come back to some of the past, but small amounts. I have been writing, but haven't published at least 4 posts. I will be sure to get those out as well.
To my readers: Thank you so much for the support, it helps a lot, more then I can say. Having about 200 hits a day was so great and made me so excited to see that, that many people read and I'm reaching out to many in some sort of way. More than I ever thought.
The shitty part about this sickness that I live in, doesn't want me to succeed. I tend to fall back into this cycle where I for some reason don't think I have any self worth. I realized I have lost myself, self esteem, and self worth long ago. This was around the coma and I'd say through the past four years. I have iscolated my self and told myself I wasn't good enough for anything. I have let these mental illness's take over eveything in my life. I have let these "differences" DEFINE who I am and I can't seem to see how anyone is going to love me when I hate myself or when "I'm different". Let's face it I am very emotional and omplex with everything and most don't want to deal with it. I have let everyone's thoughts or feelings about me or about me physcially take over how I see myself in the mirror. At times I'd say I think I am pretty. Other times I look in the mirror and wish I wasn't pretty, but was whatever nrmal was. Not me. I'd rather be not so good looking, with an amazing personality, then me. Sounds odd I'm sure.
I'm here partly because I hate and despise myself too much. I'm here the other half because I have lived through too much and can't handle anymore of it. It haunts me. I want to scream everyday at the top of my lungs. Yeah I am my worst enemy, we know that, but there are other things going on.
Anyways, With the 200 hits a day I freaked out and isolated again.... It's like, I get it all out and I'm making a change and people are inspired with me, and I drop it all. Its a pattern I have realized. Something tramatic happens or the PTSD kicks in. I'll explain in a post soon. I will try not to do this, but if I do...I will try not to be gone for so long.
Thanks again for reading. Well, Spellcheck isn't working so bare with me. Again feel free to comment.
Shereen, I have and still have all those same feelings. Sometimes I try really hard to pretend that there's nothing wrong with me and I can get on with my life. I take a step, it's successful, and then I get really scared to take the next step. I think it's because we've lived with feeling diminished. HANG ON. It's just a trick of the mind.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the exact quote, but someone said, "You never think about a head injury until you have one. Then you can't think about anything else."
