Hiii it’s blue, I just came out a ptsd episode. What I have realised is that the ptsd occurs because of the lack of love in my life. I need reassurance that I’m enough and that it’s going to be okay. I think the need to be loved and cared for is there, even if it’s the need to be loved by myself.

      Always love yourself ~ it's easier said than done but I find looking in the mirror helps. Something about seeing myself in pain makes me want to give myself the love that I need. Even if I am not unloved in my life, there's an emptiness I can't quite figure out where it comes from. A loneliness and othering, but in the moment just looking at myself reminds me that I am human too. I can't beat myself up if I see myself looking back at me, crying, hurt 💕 You will love yourself

      Yeah, I'm working on trying to be that person for myself but it's so hard after a life time of being my own worst critic
