I have had so many struggles in my life as have you and others who will never share their thoughts and feelings with others. Let me start by saying that you are one brave soul. A lot of what you are saying is very revealing and fall under what I like to call 'words unspoken.' Y seem to be sincere about what you say. It may just be the thing to get others to open up and say what is really true about them as well. For now I will say 'GOOD FOR YOU.' I hope those reading in the forum will add their support by at least acknowledging what you have to say.I know for a fact that you do not hate yourself; you simply hate being where you are with your life right now. I spent most of my life hating where I was and interpreted this to mean that I hated myself. Please spend time breathing and getting to know yourself for who you really are. I know that sounds like a lot but for now, my hope that you take the hand of the child in you that is waiting for, and needs your promise to care for her. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP. IAM 64 and I WILL NEVER GIVE UP. Be at peace.
Thanks for this!
