The mere thought of meeting someone makes your palms sweaty and your anxiety go sky high, doesn’t it?
A past relationship where the love was supposed to be unconditional and trust didn’t exist has you terrified to even consider dating.A past relationships that had you walk on eggshells in fear of your partner. Apast relationship that left you with nothing except heartache and nightmares.
You’re a good person and he noticed that. You are kind,loving, honest, loyal, and caring; everything he isn’t. He thought he couldmake you into what he wanted, into a puppet. He thought he could take everything away from you until there was nothing left except him, but he didn’t.
You stood your ground against him. You stood up for yourself and left his miserable ass. You won and he lost. You’ll be able to finally find your happiness! The key to happiness is within you, don’t rely on someone else to make you happy. The damage from his abuse will stay with you for some time, and there will be times where you don’t think you can survive it, but I promise you, you can and will.
Even while you’re healing, you might sometimes find yourselfthinking about your ex. You might even find yourself occasionally missing them, and that’s perfectly normal. But you also need to remember what he did to you, and tell yourself that you did not deserve any of it.
The truth is, you don’t have a timeframe on how long it will take you to heal from that. Focus on you, don’t focus on anyone else. It’s time for you to love yourself and find out what you like to do.
You will take as much time as you need to heal, and one day you’ll find yourself smiling out of nowhere. You’ll realize that you did it; you survived the one thing you thought you couldn’t survive.
