my story
hello, my name is kacie im 18 years old and i had a rough past couple of years... i had a boyfriend of 8 months, 2 years ago, this was sophomore year of highschool, and when we broke up things got pretty nasty, he had me so wrapped about his finger so tight that it was to the point to where i was doing everything for him but when he was doing absolutely nothing for me. i would go out of my way to make him happy and he would say how he wants to get back together with me and everything like that, this went on for 2 years straight. back and forth saying how much he missed me but when he would go hook up with other girls.. i had to do everything he said or he wouldn't talk to me ever again. (me being young and naive i never wanted that to happen because he was my 1st love) . he would call me nasty names, like i was a slut and a bitch, he made me delete my Facebook and he embarrassed me over social media. he practically was controlling me, i was depressed and i was just lost.. i never wanted to go out, or be with my friends he made me want to do things i never ever thought of doing. cutting myself and i had thoughts of suicide, but things got better when i started to realize i needed him out of my life and things will never change, it turned out in the end and i'm super happy with my boyfriend now we have been dating for almost 7 months and treats me so much better than any guy has ever treated me. but i feel like im not better yet.. i overthink alot and sometimes feel hopeless, like i never really had alot of friends, maybe 3 or 4 really close friends but now that they all have boyfriends they dont make time for me anymore? anytime im not with my boyfriend i just sit in my room and dont move for hours, on top of it, i gained some weight that im not happy about throughout the past 2 years and im not sure if its the birth control that im on or if it was the depression.. im not happy with my body at all and i'm just really stuck and dont really know what to do at this poiint, i feel like everything is just piling up and i dont know what to do..so if someone can maybe give me some advice or maybe help? it would mean alot.. thank you so much for listening.
2 Corinthians 5:17. Believer or not I advise you to read it :)
Since I'm lazy, what's the context? Is it about strength, forgiveness...?
No one has the right to tell you how to act, how to dress, and who you can be friends with. Always ask yourself - is this person making my life better? If they are, keep them; if not, you know what you need to do.
You have to believe that you - YOU - are worthwhile. You want to lose weight for YOU. You want to have a boyfriend for YOU. You want to be more confident for YOU. If you can't have a great relationship with yourself first, you can't be in a relationship with someone else to make it better for you. Take a hard look in the mirror and try to find 5 great features you have - I think you need to compliment yourself :) It sounds crazy, but you are your own biggest fan! The more love you have for yourself, it will catch onto others! Better yet - write on your mirror "I am me; there is only one. I'm proud of that." Look at it for a week - I bet you'll smile :)
thank you it truly helped and i will do that! thanks so much it means alot!
Hi Casey,
I'm sorry about the unhealthy relationship with your ex. He did not sound like a good guy deep down. I'm glad you're out of that relationship and working on your own life. You can only get better from here.
