Tips on finding yourself again.
I’ve been afraid of posting about this because I can’t handle any judgement at the moment, but I suppose I’ll put it out there. Long story short, I allowed a guy to completely destroy me. He played me, took me for a ride, disposed of me and moved on to others. I wasn’t an angel in this relationship and had my problems and I take ownership of that. But I’m seeing now how calculated everything was on his side and how much he took advantage of me for his own gain. It’s been months and I still feel like a shell of my former self. I’ve spiraled into a deep depression. It’s affected my every day life. My performance at work. Everything. I’m in therapy and I know it will take a while to find myself again. I feel multiple levels of hurt. The hurt of the loss, the hurt of being played, and the hurt of me not being strong enough to bounce back. I’m wondering if anyone has any comforting words or advice on how to at least ease the pain a little. I want my spark back.
