What is the one advice you would give to others that are currently struggling. I'm asking this as someone who is in the middle of healed and not healed. Personally right now, I would probably say my biggest advice is:
It's painful, but the only choice is to keep going. It feels like it won't end at first and life is the worst. But it eventually ends, so just keep going. You may feel depressed, but still, keep going.
because just a few weeks ago, I was extremely depressed and hated every second of life. But recently I have been feeling better, not fully healed but just way mentally, physically, and emotionally better. So everyone, just keep going!

i love that you're sharing this while you're still healing yourself. when you look back at those really dark weeks, what do you think helped you start feeling better?
i've learned to take healing one day at a time. some days i barely did anything except get out of bed, and i had to stop treating those days like failures. i'm really glad you're starting to feel like yourself again.
in that place where even getting through a normal day felt impossible, and i couldn't imagine ever feeling like myself again. seeing you say you're feeling better now gives me a little hope too, because damn, those first weeks can be BRUTAL.
I’m not completely healed yet either, but I feel like I’m on a good way.
My biggest advice would be to take care of yourself and start putting yourself first. Find new hobbies, work out, go out with friends, try things you’ve always wanted to try, and slowly rediscover who you are outside of that relationship. Give yourself little confidence boosts, remind yourself that you’re beautiful and worthy of love, and don't settle for someone who makes you question that.
Please don't hold onto people who are willing to lose you. I know how hard it is to let go of someone you love, but you deserve someone who's willing to put in the effort, fight for you and choose you without making you beg for the bare minimum. Someone like that can come into your life but you also need to give yourself the chance to live without waiting for them.
Time really does make things easier, even when you can't imagine that right now. You don't have to be okay overnight. Just keep going, take it one day at a time and remember that you are the most important person in your own life. You deserve to find yourself again and build a life that makes you happy with or without anyone else.
I have no advice because I am not yet healed. But thankyou, it’s nice to hear someone coming through the other side and finding acceptance and more joy
