Kim- I'm not completely sure- but I think I know what is going on with you.
You were really upset at seeing him, and I know that, I know how traumatic it was for you- BUT- are you more upset at yourself that you broke NC and almost got sucked back in? Are you frustrated because you feel like you can't do it?
You have lost faith in yourself and your strength and your ability?
Hon, I know it is so very hard, but Ij ust want you to think about this for a second.
I know you would go back and do it differently. I know that you would have maintained NC.
But the thing is, we can't go back and change what was- we can only change what IS.
I know that this has shaken you to your very core, but Kim, it's what you do now. You can do this. Even though you have started over, think about the five months that you went NC. You did it then, under pretty extreme circumstances, might I add.
DON'T count the 'blip' (because that is what I think it is). You were unprepared.
Think about before. Think about what you did, what you read, and how many people here you have helped yourself, and with your story- YOU CAN DO THIS.
If Periwinkle were here, she would jump right in with me, and the truth is, it's coz we all know you are incredibly strong, Kim- it's a big thing with you.
Don't put too much expectation into it, okay? Just baby steps. Kinda like before. You have had a big confidence knock, honey. But you can get it back.
Remember, we are all here with you.
((((BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG HUGS))))
Lots of Love, Love Kyra xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
