This is what it looks like when you are in the progress of to changing and building a new life for yourself after years of struggling with PTSD and depressions: making research about how anxiety works so I can deal with it, making research about self esteem, mindfulness, making self-therapy notes about what I need to change – attitudes, strategies, plans, motivation, a practical plan to reach my goals and the strategies that will lead me to future success, keeping a journal just for things that I am grateful for and things that are good about me to boost my self esteem, dissecting my fears so I can get rid of them to be able to reach my dreams and desires, redefining what my art means to me and how I want to use my creativity from now on. This is what it looks like when you take back control of your life!

Great work! It is very hard when you are dealing with these things. Try to find a program that you can join. I just finished a 3 month CBT course and it has helped me more in the past 3 months than anything else in the last 7 years since the kidnapping I suffered. You’re not alone in this, lots of people go through PTSD from assault. ❤

Thank you! ❤ I was in therapy for 5 years, it really saved my life, but I'm gonna keep working on my issues by myself from now on, I feel like I am on the right path… and most of the PTSD symptoms are gone (except for some trust issues and general anxiety disorder), I hope you will find your way out of the pain that your trauma brought into your life (and mind, and heart). Much love and strength to you! ❤
