I have struggled a lot in my life for a long time with not thinking my mistakes, struggles, things in my past were not a result of me. Also I struggle with letting go of them and not thinking and having them affect me and my life still. I do not think I have the power to shape my day and my future necessarily. Especially because all though i know I can't control other people's thinking, feelings, emotions, and behavior. It makes it hard when you have no choice to whether or not you can include those people in my life.
@Ivy229
Letting go is tough and difficult for many of us, I find mindfulness helped me to see many things in a different way, to forgive others and myself too. I hope it will help you as well So sorry to hear that you feel out of control of creating your day and future because of your environment. It must be hurting to feel stuck, it's easier if one can just walk away from people who we feel are not good for us. Noone can change others but we can change how we see and feel about them, getting emotional distance and not letting them affect our lives. I hope this will happen for you, hugs.
@amiablePeace77
Thank you for replying to my post, you definitely brought up a lot of good points. I agree that sometimes working away from people who we feel are not good for us is a good idea. However, it is hard when those very people are the ones that depend of you the most and you know in your heart that if they didn't have you in their lives they would struggle and no be capable of making it through life. Like some of the most important yet toxic people in my own life and recovery journey include my mom, grandmother and younger brother. I guess I am the type of person who is too empathetic and caring and put people ahead of myself because I have such a big heart. Also it's hard when you feel those people who are toxic are still there for you no matter what you go through individually and you can tell it isn't just because of everything you do for them.
@Ivy229
Sorry to hear that those toxic people are the closest ones to you but seems they also have a good side if I understood your right?
@amiablePeace77 Yes I would say that is true. Yes they are toxic people and have put me through a lot of struggle, pain, and issues. I know they still care and just are not as aware as I am about the things they do and how they affect people around them. There is a reason why you can't help someone who does not know or understand that they need help.
@Ivy229
Offering help without being asked for it can even aggrevate them. Wish your situation would be easier, hugs.

How much does this quote relate to you? Very nice quite ami I'm beginning and working hard, with the help of you, @soulsings, and others on here in the mindfulness community and the trauma community, and my favorite listener, to learn that I am not my mistakes! I do have mistakes I have made and will continue to make mistakes in life, but, I am me. Lots of the struggles, mistakes, regrets, and the things in the past that were very bad have helped to shape me to who I am today and there is a lot I have learned from it all and will continue to learn for the good! 
It is up to me, or the others who sometimes come out, for all of us to work to shaping our future to be the best that it can be, all with the help and support of God.
How easy is it for you to let go of what went wrong in your life, are there things you're still struggling with? It is still easy for us to slip back into the past and be right there in it as it is happening, with the PTSD and DID. It gets very real and we are wroking to learn to not keep going there everytime something presents itself to us that will usually take us back there. We are working and will keep working on it all.
@Amelia2324
I love the optimism in your post, you've faced the rough side of life but you still know at the end you can make it a good life - never loose this faith
@amiablePeace77
Thanks you so much, ami, for helping me reach days and times like this!!!! 
@Amelia2324
You're so so welcome Amelia 💙🌻💚

How much does this quote relate to you?
There are some major mistakes I have made in my life, but I have found that a lot of these mistakes have sorta kinda worked out in the end. Or at least, the outcome of those mistakes have led me to some positive things happening.
How easy is it for you to let go of what went wrong in your life, are there things you're still struggling with?
Letting go of things that went wrong in my life, especially people who have wronged me or treated me badly is a huge struggle for me. Because the anger that I feel towards the negative situation or person is just so strong, it's like rushes of rage. I'm not a violent person, but when I feel anger it is heavy and almost consuming. Because my anger comes from not just if a person has wronged me recently, but it stems from all of the past wrongs done to me when I didn't stand up for myself in the past. All of that compiled, buried rage just comes rushing out when an unwanted, painful memory comes up. Because I really wish I would have done something about it.
@cafedaydreams
Living the present peacefully in is hard when your past is still impacting the now so much. I hope you will find the support you need to process your past and manage your anger here. It's never too late to work on it and you are worthy of more peace in your life, hugs.
