You're uncomfortable, and despite your best efforts, it simply will not go away on its own. Your feelings of anxiety and hopelessness are worthy of acknowledgment because often, it feels like those around you couldn't possibly understand how deep that pain truly is. When our external self does such an excellent job of masking how we feel inside, we don't feel seen, and we don't feel heard. That's a very lonely space to be.
Despite all that pain and anxiety, you are here, and you are taking action. I admire your bravery to begin healing. Hard truth, life is messy, but your trauma and anxiety don't have to define you. You have had things happen in your life that were painful, traumatic, and at times yes, absolutely unfair. Let's work together to lift your barriers one by one.
You deserve compassion and empathy. I'm here to help. It's time to see yourself as an empowered person who is worthy of love and deserving of support. Reach out anytime. I can't wait to meet you.
