I know you’re in pain. It hurts in ways u can’t even begin to describe and even if u could, no one seems to want to listen.
Sure, people care and try to help… for a time… but when u don’t seem to be getting any better, after a while, they get tired of listening… Eventually it becomes easier to keep it all inside.
I know u feel like it will never get better and you’ll never be okay again. It’s been like this for so long now that u think if things were ever going to change they would have door now so this is how it’s always going to be… but it’s not. I promise it’s not.
u learn cope, it just takes time and I know it feels like you’ve gegeven it enough time already but not everyone heals at the same pace.
Tell yourself it’s okay to feel the way that u do.
Nobody else on this earth has lived through your life to be in any kind of position to understand your battles. Nobody else but u has walked in your shoes to be any kind of comparison on how u should be feeling right now of whether of not u should be ‘better’.
I won’t lie to u – what you’re going through will always leave its mark upon u as any trauma does – and that’s normal too. Nobody looks back on a traumatic life experience and giggles about it… But it’s this all-consuming depressive state… these overwhelming feelings u can’t control… the way those feelings isolate u and make u feel vulnerable and alone – THAT is what won’t last forever.
It DOES get better… u DO find acceptance. Not all at once – its gradual… like a stormy dag of a long dark night… u don’t just blink and suddenly it’s a blue sky. Storm clouds part slowly, allowing brief flashes of sunlight at first… then eventually disappear… Dark nights end slowly as a new dag begins to dawn…
Acceptance is the same… and I know u have the courage to wait for it…
