If you have ever felt /identified with being broken, tainted, or inept....

What broke you out of feeling that way? I sure have tried so many things, affirmations, therapy, books.... but a lot of the trauma was so horrible that it seeped way, way into my subconscious.😔

I still do identify with being small, weak, or tainted. How did you feel better? (if you have found healing)??
How did you view yourself as good or strong etc?

It was never therapy for me. Though, I admit feeling tonight bleak, broken and tainted. Perhaps maybe holding thoughts jaded somewhere within me tonight. That's where my life is right now, somewhat, and self-talk only helps so much; ie.. affirmations.

But I admit I have had much darker periods in my life. I did identify with being broken and lost then. Maybe even before. But the lowest was not long after my father died.

I think I threw away the ideas of good, strong, or weak. It was a slow process. They mostly serve as a way of torturing your mind and measuring yourself to where you think you should be. When simply, we are always where we are.

That also means healing can come and go.
