Some hope...just some.

i woke up this morning with a little bit of hope. i think it's a good sign because i've been waking up with sadness for many days and weeks. i've kept my sadness to myself and thought it would just go away with time. but sharing my story and getting feedback is worth a lot. holding in the pain does nothing more than make it worse. i still wont share my story with the people in my 'real' life because of shame. but telling the ALL people has opened the door just a little bit.

i know that my ex-bf was a cruel person. but i also know that i was too innocent and when i think back, there were lots of danger signs. maybe when were in love we just dont want to see the danger signs because the happy feelings atone for any possible bad feelings. love is addictive, but so can be sadness. i will try to have more hope every day.

I'm glad to hear that, Isla. I saw your story in the other thread, and I think many of the people on here have a similar story - maybe not exactly the same, but we have all had our heart broken at some point.

Anyway, happy that things are improving.

You should avoid hiding anything; this includes the 'more real' people in your life and anyone you can count on such as family. Evil thrives in darkness and silence. It is in the light of revelation that it fears.

The most important thing is you should let your feelings out. The beauty of talking about one's issues is that more that often one will be able to learn much more after listening and analysing the replies from others. It is like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel faster and sooner. I know you will be stronger after this experience. Be strong and keep your spirits high. You still have a fantastic future ahead.....
