When supportive words might not be true?

I've read one type message this week two or three times on various social media sites. It is,
"Through all your obstacles, you've gone this far and be proud of how far you've gotten .."

But what if your obstacles have given you affliction like PTSD and you've not really gotten far after several years??? It's a wonderful thought but sometimes we remain stuck after horrible situations, and have not been thriving, as some quotes might relay. 😢

Just let it all go.

Don't worry too much about what you may or may not have accomplished, or the past. Or what is expected(unless that is your job and you are paid to care😁), or where people around you might be in their lives.

Just look out for yourself right now. Focus on being calm and at peace, enjoying the beauty in life, glowing with the goodness inside you.

Let the weight be lifted and float away, and lie on the scented grass in springtime with the butterflies. Listen to the water trickle over the nearby brook and feel the breeze tickle your temples. Close your eyes and dream of nirvana.

Ommmm Ommmmm Ommmm.

@JoyfulSilence I guess what I mean is my IDENTITY is low and broken and I wonder if it'll ever thrive or feel good about myself. But I know letting go does mean of everything, so I'll try let go of the identity my mind created years ago. Thank you ☮

Invent a new identity.

Be all that you can be.
Get an edge on life.
(yet no need to join the Army🤪).

Or, accept who you are.
You are a good person!
You like flowers and pretty trees.
And passing waterfowl.
Keep on singing!
