When I discovered that the way I viewed myself was a problem, I actively read books, listened to podcasts, and watched videos to find a solution to my mental problems. And it took me years and years of learning and unlearning.

I struggled despite everything that I was doing, but something that finally clicked for me and jolted me in the right direction was allowing myself to exist and be. It was allowing myself to cry and feel. I took breaks from social media, music, and any other distractions so that I can see myself from where I was. And I was able to release my pain. I respected myself a lot more. And I learned that I was truly ok and safe. I still struggle with fear. But I think that allowing myself to be afraid, yet trusting God that I will be ok is what has been keeping me afloat. I don't know what my life is going to look like. But at least I am trying to make figuring that out in a way that is fun and exciting and not just nerve racking.
