How do I get my identity back? And be the version of me I was before all this?
How do I get my identity back? And be the version of me I was before all this?
Hi Dear ❤️, I think it just takes a lot of patience and time. Healing is nonlinear at times, but it does progress slowly each day. I’ve heard mirror work (telling positive affirmations in the mirror towards yourself) has helped people relieve wounds of the past. Perhaps this could help: https://youtu.be/bCaNokh95mo Do things that are healing for your soul — getting exercise calms down stress, being in nature / around animals makes you present. Make art, sing, hang with friends — live a life where you value your mental health the most ❤️ Visit counselors who will help your thoughts ease. As time passes by, you start to laugh again like you used to. Wounds can heal, I promise you that it just needs patience. And at the end of the journey, you won’t be the same version of yourself, you’ll be an even stronger and more resilient version. So best of luck to you dear I know you can do this ❤️
We’re not meant to stay the same but I truly believe we’ll have the same soul forever. You’re still you and will make it out of this stronger
Your identity can never leave you. You are still you ❤️, even if it doesn’t feel like it. You may do less of the things that you once did before, but that’s manageable and temporary. Just remind yourself that you are still you.
