General I Saw This, And It Sure Applies To Me. I Know Others Will See Themselves It It As Well

[DOUBLEPOST=1406113066,1406112900][/DOUBLEPOST]The one thing it doesn't mention is failure. There are so many times, especially now with losing my job this winter, along with most of my friends, that I feel like such a failure. I really need to start seeing myself as God sees me, and not how my abusers saw me.
Title should read see themselves in it as well:)

Great picture, Russ.

I am trying to see those transitions not as failures, but as opportunities. I had to go on disability from my job two years ago and it devastated me. I felt like such a failure, but it gave me the chance to do some volunteer work that was really good for my healing and I met some lovely new people.

I believe that everything happens far a reason - God's plan, perhaps. God doesn't make failures, right Russ?

Our abusers made us feel worthless and worse, ptsd makes us believe that we are living the lies of our past. Keep fighting the lies - the picture is a good reminder!

It's okay - I do and it's free to distribute but you need to know that before you post :)

I've been trying to get this in my head too. To try to see my true worth instead of the worthless, selfish, unloving person my abusers always called me, that I don't deserve to be treated poorly by others or myself (finally had a day this week that I truly didn't feel like I deserved to self harm as punishment for the horrible person I supposedly am!).

@Faerie, I am glad you had a positive day; let's home for many more.
