there have been considerable dark times in my life, very considerable. but looking back, it seems those times i had the power of control- the power to pick myself up and perservere through the unclenching hardships that invaded my entire life. there was always this tiny light that would peek in through the darkness- a sliver of hope perhaps - reminding me i was able to exit the mess, exit the pain, and make the right choices.

retrospectively, it seems, no matter how many times i saw that light, no matter how many times i admitted to myself that there was an opportunity to make things better for myself, i never EVER tried hard enough. consequently, my emotions have deteriorated to the point where i am permanently miserable and negative and the bubbly, ambitious, shining young girl i was at one point has diminished into a dark, insecure nothing.

its days like this, average days that comprise no conflict, that it makes me realise how truly far i have sunken into my black hole. its strange though- shouldn't these be the times when i happily reflect on my happiness? shouldn't these be the times where i go about running errands, catching up with friends, helping out here and there or working for money? rather, i have allowed myself to become entwined in a web of sadness

Can relate to this really well. My mother does the same thing/is causing so many problems regarding the wedding.

Try some deep breathing to relax you and try not to fall for the bait - easier said than done I know as I fall for it as well.

Go Cristina!!!

I am so sorry to see you suffer like this. You do need to get help, you have been in an abuse situation for such a long time, and it sounds not good at home. Please talk with someone, it takes a lot of strength to hang in when being abused, but now is time to call in the Army. We all need help when being abused, it is impossible to be ok....
All my best cristina.
