Yes, of course it's ok to use my words to help you. Well done for finding the courage to speak how it feels.

By the way - I still am much like you, I just had a little more time working through it! I am still working on it in my own therapy but nowadays the pain isn't so overwhelming. I now, having been a therapist for well over a decade, see it from both sides of the therapy room, which means I can better help others. Your words made me smile - thank you. And yes, I never will forget. I know the pain too well. It does get better but it takes time.

Believe in yourself.

Take care
