The terrible things those people told you are lies So leigheas. They are not the truth of what you are. The truth of who and what you are shines through on the pages of this forum--kind, compassionate, articulate, funny, smart.
Take a magic marker and write KCAFS on the back of your hand where you can see it throughout the day and maybe those letters for kind/compassionate/articulate/funny/smart will help remind you of the truth when others try to make you into something you're not
Sending you hugs and hopes that the darkness fades for you soon
