There aren’t too many worth mentioning and am bit of a mess now. But i can certainly see the “changes” that happened to me in the past few years. I don’t know if it has to do with ageing. At 20 or 22 i believed everything my parents said about me without even thinking if it was true or not. As a result of that i suffered from terrible unworthiness. But now i treat myself with more compassion and started believing in my abilities. Another major change is that i start to speak about my troubles. During all these years i ferociously shielded my personal life from friends and well wishers. If any of my friends accidentally found out bruises on my body i used to come up with a story about how i skidded.. Now i talk about it and above all accepting the fact that i was raised different. I still have panic attacks and sleep disorders. But doing exercise or going for a long walk keeps me tired to get a better sleep. I have been trying the breathing technique too to relax. I am a teetotaler and vegan which helps me to stay healthy. Still there is a long way to go because i find my agony and depression are deeper than i thought. I have been looking for a better job so that i can move out of home. I seriously wish to join a yoga class after that. I certainly need to control my anger and emotional outbursts. I hope yoga can make me feel peaceful again. On a long term basis i find myself working for underprivileged children. My gut feeling tells me working with children will help me heal. It would be like travelling back in time and helping my younger self 🙂
