Today’s therapy session was hard. I cried a lot. We covered a lot of ground.
I talked about when I was bullied at the age of 15 and I realised that I have never got over it. One of my best friends stopped talking to me for several weeks, and made everyone else stop talking to me too. For weeks no-one spoke to me at school. Then one day they all just started talking to me again and I never found out what it had all been about. To this day I have no idea.
I think that’s why I am so afraid of being alone and lonely and I’ve surrounded myself with people. I’ve realised I’m actually scared of myself. It’s time I showed compassion to my 15 year old self. It’s time to forgive myself.
To my 15 year old self: –
It was not your fault
You were bullied
You can never blame yourself for what happened
You are beautiful and strong
this is me again
