I love this topic.
HEY I HAVE AN IDEA... let's make a list. Try, if you can, to throw some humor in there, and then at the end come up with an affirmation about yourself/your situation. Sounds like fun to me!

I have survived:
Fairly consistent teasing/ostracizing
Middle School
Public School Sex Education
Boyfriends
One very emotionally abusive relationship
My mother's bad moods/unwittingly triggering me
Public school food (or whatever it's supposed to be)
Self-injury
My parents finding out about my self-injury
Falling in love
Horrible teachers
Panic attacks
Homework
Bad grades

... and at the end of the day, I THINK I'M A BETTER PERSON FOR ALL OF IT!!!

truly,
