It's finally over. I have never felt more confident than I am right now. For 7 years I suffered with this in silence. Every second of every single day of my life was filled with terror. Not being able to sleep, almost overdosing on sleeping pills, always at war with myself.
The crying, the cursing, screaming, the disgust the shame and self contempt. Getting rid of all of that felt so impossible but I Did It. I don't care what anyone says, I cured myself. It was the most difficult trial of my entire life but I won. I won yall. And Now, I don't even recognize myself.
I feel like I can do anything. Nothing scares me anymore. Or at the least I can deal with the fear in seconds as opposed to days. I'm even looking for new fears to conquer because I'm addicted to how strong beating this has made me. writing this post is one of them. It feels like a super power. Magic itself feels possible.
Just keep at it and face your fears. Embrace every emotion, every fear, every feeling and let it in. Let it make you stronger.
Edit
Think of your fears has negative energy. Sitting with that fear and accepting it releases that energy until there is none left. It can be a terrifying and long process, but It's a successful one.
CONGRATS! What helped?
