Trauma makes you think your self-worth depends on how others treat you. Healing makes you realize you are not how they treat you, they are how they treat you, and you didn't lose them because of your boundaries, they lost you because of their repeated disrespect.
i think it’s pretty wild that mental health is so shrugged off in the work world. there are days that my depression takes over so bad that i cannot physically move. even if i wanted to, i cannot. it is debilitating. and it’s gross that it’s not taken more seriously.
