Can A Person Be Too Broken?

Your post was on point tonight. As I am feeling way too broken. My trauma was different from yours...

@LiketheMouse I just read your post after a bout of crying. I just had a friend kind of blow me off (in messenging) because my message didnd't make sense. The aphasia is getting worse I think, idk. I just want to tell you I found this graphic idk if it will work but let me try to put it in after this message. it made me feel better. After reading eveyrthing I read here, you are not too broken. none of us are / is?. we are dealing with what we have been thru and some days are harder than others. you and i and everyone else are here for a reason even if we can't always see it. I love you, you are worthy, and you are perfect as you are :) Be You :)

I have been on this healing journey for a very long time.
I started very broken.

A few things are as fixed as they are going to get.I accept that today.

But I worked very hard to get to where I am today.

There is an advantage to having PTSD all my life. I don't have to long for 'before'. There is no before. So one less thing to clutter my already busy brain.
 
@JadesJewel in tears reading your reply. I feel like you grew up along side...
Thank you for putting it this way MP. I have been reading books and advice for so many years and I finally figured out that I don't want to get angry, or even "heal" (for lack of words) I just want to be loved. Loved for just being me. Not for what I can do or how I feel, just being me.
--like how a mother holds and loves her new born baby. The child knows nothing and does nothing...just gets loved for being there.

I think that this is some thing that we all missed out on. I have always thought that this was too much to ask of anyone, but, now I know that it is what I want and that it is something that everyone deserves. And that it is something that it is ok to want, and ask for.

@ladee I'm sorry for not responding. I think I missed responses somehow. "a few things are as fixed as they are going to get." that really hit home for me. I somehow think that they are all supposed to get fixed and then get frustrated when they are not. I know the last time I was in therapy, she kind of just said something like that, that there are things that I need to just find a way to live with, the after effects kind of ? I'm not sure if I'm wording all that right. I think I need to work on accepting. <3 Wishing you nothing but peace and love.

I did see your response the other day and I'm sorry I didn't respond, it made me think of my mom and her not being there for us growing up. You're right we all deserve that, just to be loved, for us and for no other reason. I hope we all find that on some level. <3
