It feels like folks are saying..hey life is better for everyone if your not around trying
Don't listen to those thoughts! I nearly took my life several years ago when I came to focus on the misbelief everyone would be better off without me. I convinced myself that my children deserved better than me.
Know what happened? After I found a way out of toxic thinking, I slowly came to understand those thoughts were nothing more than that, just thoughts, without a basis in fact. I was reacting to my feelings, which were real enough, but I was not living in the power of the
truth about myself.
And what was that truth? That the feelings and toxic thoughts were a result of abusers who had hijacked my mental health with violence when I was a child.
Trying-to-move-forward - Dare to believe what I've written. Truth will exert a powerful influence if given time to do so. I know it's hard waiting for change to come your way, but it
will come. I am living evidence, as are others on this site. My near brush with death was 31 years ago. Because of truth I came to see the root of my depression and now I counteract it with positive thinking to displace the toxic thoughts.
During the last 31 years, some of which were really difficult, I lived to enjoy my children as they grew into adulthood and because of the imperfect love I was able to muster up for them, they thrive as well as anyone else. Also, I've had the added joy of 4 grandchildren, and they love me! Can you imagine?
You are a person of value and worth. Period. Feelings to the contrary are just that - feelings. And feelings based on a false perception of your worth are just electrical impulses firing around in your brain.
I hope you will dare to believe in yourself. It is an important, crucial step.
