Regaining Self Esteem and Trusting Again
Regaining Self Esteem and Trusting Again
I never had the best self esteem, but before I met my ex, I felt pretty good about myself.
My ex tore me down to nothing. My lack of self esteem at this point is paralyzing... How do we rebuild ourselves after this abuse?
Also, how do we learn to trust again? I always had difficulty trusting people, especially guys. My two best male friends dropped me as soon as I came out to them, so I have had a large mistrust of getting close to other guys (Of course my ex used this information to his advantage promising me he would never be like those guys and would ALWAYS be there for me...)
Will we ever be able to have a real, healthy relationship that will help put this nightmare to rest once and for all?
I feel completely damaged and hopeless because of this (and after 4 years without my ex...still love him and can't imagine feeling that way about anyone else.
HELP!!!!
I'm sorry for what you are
