It’s been a really rough year for me. Anxiety has been at an all time high, family exposing their racist & homophobic ideation, reconnecting with old trauma, and the pandemic as the cherry on top. 3 weeks ago I was struggling with suicidal thoughts and an ongoing feeling of worthlessness.
I’ve been doing a lot of inner child work since this past weekend, and I feel like I’m finally breaking away from past experiences. I’m actually starting to feel like myself again instead of existing for the comfort of others.
I had a really great session with my therapist yesterday where we talked about the responsibilities I hold onto for other people, and that it’s okay to put them down (the 6 of Swords has been a common draw). It’s all sinking in now, and I’m just feeling really good about the deconstruction of the Tower I’ve built.
Edit: Thank you all for the kind comments and messages (and my first ever Reddit award)! It’s tough to feel isolated from community, so I really appreciate the connection and outreach!
