Here, I create another episode in which I self-indulge. Yes. I deserve more love, not less and speaking and sharing my story is the way I practice a healing embrace with my pain.
For all of my young adult life, I was taught and shown the advantages to having a long-distance relationship with my pain. It wasn't until after I graduated from college when I was 23 years old when I began to feel confusion, loss and hurt and I really didn't know what to do. After 5 years of consulting google for foods to enhance gut-mind health, researching YouTube on exercise regimes, reading self-help books, becoming a student of psychotherapy methods and taking pages from others "self-care" books, Nothing fucking worked and I just didn't understand why. True, my relationships gradually began to thin and that just exacerbated my feelings of wanting to ostracize myself. I was a bitch to everyone, I pushed my loved ones and doting friends away and refused to come to terms with my sexuality.
Here I am, finally sharing my truths and embracing vulnerability because that is the main way I embrace my pain, is to speak it out and direct, which is what I feel runs against the grain that of which my old habits would have me do.
Here's part of my story to keeping my chin up and inviting you all to have hope that things may not get easier when you are in pain, but they can get better. Tune in to learn how to improve your relationship with you pain.
