What were you like when you were at your worst?

Curious.
A follow up question — are you better now, and if so, in what ways? X

I never defended myself or stuck up for myself. I had nothing at all because I didn’t ever know any different as a child and young adult. Not even clothing. I didnt take good care of myself. I was always very clean but that was all. I was drugged up on 8 different medications I never needed. Overweight and bloated from them although I was always starving and had anemia and malnutrition. I used to lose large chunks of time because of my DID. I was beaten up all the time by my exhusband. Etc.

@SW-User hopefully you’ve been able to cut all ties with your ex. That sounds like hell

All thanks to my pedophile uncle and succubus mother.
I lost 130 pounds. No medication. :) Just vitamins. Im healthy. I exercise. I have my own space. Clothes. Whatever. I still struggle with mental health issues and low self esteem. Anxiety etc. I don’t blame myself for my abuse anymore. I like aspects of me. I’m fucked but way better than before.@Syktur

Depressed and moody. Tired. Totally broken. I was wearing black and gym clothes almost all the time because I couldn't bother to do anything.
I'm feeling much better now though there is still a long way to go. I was forcing myself to do stuff and to get back on my feet again and it eventually made me want to live and create my own destiny. Now, even if I have to fight windmills, I'm ready.
Why do you ask tho?

@Melpomene awesome answer. The wearing black thing I can relate to... but I wear black even when I’m my mentally best. I don’t know, was just curious. It’s nice to be able to relate to people.

@Syktur I often wear black but that's because I feel confident or it looks flattering or I just like the colour. After I broke down I was very weak and even small things like matching an outfit were quite tiresome and I wanted to preserve my strength for more important things; luckily a big per cent of my clothes is black so I was only slightly irritated that it's not the same shade of black.

cool new name

emotionally distant, used other people for my own personal gain and then left them when i didn't need them anymore, wasn't eating, wasn't motivated to do anything, spent all of my time inside, my body was constantly covered in self-inflicted wounds that i would try desperately to hide...

i'm nothing like that anymore but sometimes i think i'm probably still the same person on the inside

@SW-User so important to treat your body right, it can make a world of difference x
When things are shit on the inside, being physically healthy can still improve things slightly
