Soooo almost exactly a year ago (Sept 16) I broke up with my first serious serious boyfriend. I have the post from then too, it’s crazy chu i don’t even remember writing it! But it was obviously very painful.

It was also the year that me and my best friend of 10 years stopped being friends as well. I have a broken family and literally ended up living alone. This is the most alone I’ve ever been in my life - not even my mom could be there for me.

I’m here a year later and I just want to say that I think i’m in the best position of my life so far. I’ve never felt more in touch with myself, more confident, or calm. I just haven’t felt this much like myself, ever really. Idk if anyonesreading this but i thought it would be a cool little ending to a sad beginning. It took depression, anxiety, and the absolute worst self image. I didn’t even see myself as human, these people around me didn’t support me. And here i am 364 days later and I’m just really proud of myself? Just amazing work on my part. Crushing my goals that had been collecting dust. I work hard to trust myself, to be self compassionate above all negativity, and to simply love myself the way i’m able to love others so dearly.

Thank you ladies, this community is the first one i’ve felt comfortable with. I’m so glad to be able to share this with you all :)
