Hello, my dear friend! I'll give you a warm hug from afar first.
I can tell you're hurting, and I'm here to help. You've been through a lot, and it's clear you're struggling. But you're here, and that's a start. You have the strength and resilience to get through this.
When you're in tune with your past and current emotional state, you're more likely to make decisions that align with your needs and the needs of those around you. This helps you avoid acting in ways that might hurt yourself or those you care about.
It's okay to feel the way you do. It's also okay to accept your current painful emotional feelings, as well as the actions and thoughts that want to harm yourself. You're doing great! Now, try to be aware of these emotional feelings and the hidden needs behind the motives for your actions. That is, when you have committed self-harm, what is your inner experience and feeling? What needs do you feel are being met at that moment, such as being valued, being noticed, being cared for... You're doing great! Now, can you give yourself satisfaction and respond to these needs in a better way?
For instance, you can simply and directly express your needs to your family or friends.
It's also important to remember that we can't choose our family of origin or our parents. What we can do is try to accept them. If you've been traumatized in your family of origin, it's okay. You can heal yourself by growing and learning. And you can love yourself just as much as you would a good parent.
From what you've told me, it seems like you might have some low self-esteem and feel like you don't accept yourself because of your own growth. I totally get it! The good news is that you can work on changing your current emotional state by trying to accept yourself a little more and building up your self-confidence. One way to do this is by making a list of all the ways you accept yourself already. And on the other hand, you can also try keeping a gratitude journal to help you feel more confident and worthy of love.
If you're feeling down, why not try keeping an emotional diary? It's a great way to understand your feelings better and work out what's really going on for you.
I'm your little ear at the Q&A Pavilion, Lily, and the world, and I love you!
