Transformative phase - Will I make it out of this?

...See more Dear all,  I have been facing betrayals, jealousy and a bunch of other vile things from a bunch of friends. So what I decided to do was cut them off one by one. Turns out I am left with probably only one friend now. I have been through much worse before. This phase is transformative. Like I have been vulnerable with a bunch of people who were not good for me and maybe God decided to show me their true colours. But i wish he did that slowly. My mind is relaxed. In fact I am glad this happened. Maybe I have always known this won't last and maybe validation seeking got the best of me. But my heart is heavy as I write this.  I hope at the end of this transformative phase I see light. I am posting these thoughts here with the hopes that those who read this will share their thoughts. Maybe that will soothe me in this difficult lonely time.

Moving on or have I moved on?

...See more It’s been almost six months since I called off my wedding with my emotionally abusive ex. After that I’ve been going to therapy and have done intense healing including inner child. For the past few days the remnants of my past stopped triggering me as I found a way to let it go. I tight I’ve cleared everything from my past but I found that there were a few pictures and old conversations with voice notes this morning. I went through it slowly and saw this girl who was unrecognisable for me. I felt completely detached from his voice notes. I was expecting to feel overwhelmed and cry but nothing. In fact I found a lot of red flags in such messages. What is this? Was universe testing me if I’ve truly let go? Or just mocking me to fall back into a spiral?

...See more Dear All, I am in a quarter life crisis. I’m25 female. Yes, I had my wedding called off my wedding to an emotionally abusive ex last year and quit a toxic job. Now I’ve decided to take a break to heal. At the same time I’m planning to study to get into academia and the qualifying exam is in June. Till then I was wondering how I get started as I lack motivation. I think I’m emotionally burnt out. I don’t know where to start. I stay with my parents. Though they’re supportive of me staying at home to study, they don’t get along well. So it’s almost always like a fight or flight situation here. I know it gets back to normal. But I kind of want to run away with a mundane boring job or sometimes. I guess I stayed with my ex longer than I should have because I wanted to escape from here. I love my parents and they love me too but I hope you get it. Do I look for a job and escape? Or should I stop running and face it until I find a path that fulfilling in the long run? I would really appreciate any thoughts on my situation. Thanks in advance.

...See more Hello All, I am trying to keep a tab on how long I study everyday. I am going through a rough patch but I need to study as well. Though I am healing I need someone to be accountable for when I study and would like to discuss on how it goes when we study alone full time. If anyone is in the same situation where you need to talk while still wanting to study and need company, please comment. Let's study together!

A new phase!

...See more Hello All,  As much as I am excited to begin a new chapter of my life. The past weighs in on me a little bit. I  called off my wedding a month back. Though I loved my ex, he was emotionally abusive. As days go by, I heal bit by bit. The relief that comes from leaving a toxic situation is definitely something I feel almost everyday. But the thing is Laziness and distraction comes along with it. I want to study for an exam that's coming up to work for my passion. I am glad I have the freedom and time now. But any thoughts on getting through this but at the same time be productive without being lazy all day without distractions? 7 Cups has definitely helped me through it. I feel what the picture depicts all day long - to sleep in and be cozy...
