Believing in yourself

I spent years not believing in myself. Not believing I would ever get better. Not believing I could go back to school. Not believing I would ever live independently. Not believing I would even survive long enough to enroll in school again.. But here I am. In school, and moving to independent housing.

Now I believe in myself. I believe I'm going to Make it. I believe that I will be successful in school. I believe I am going to live a long successful life. I'll drive again some day soon. I believe I will be a productive member of society.

This didn't happen overnight. It took months of tears and pain, fighting as hard as I could, thinking I would never make it to the other side. But I fought. I ate and kept my food down. I cried every day because of the pain of refeeding and dealt with swollen legs and a huge bloated belly. I dealt with horrible stomach issues and sickness. My body had to be repaired. The Body is resilient and I have made it to the other side. I believed in myself, just barely; but enough to let myself heal.

Believe in yourself. You are worth it!! You are amazing and strong. You are a fighter. Never give up.
