I'm not certain how you can let go of that pain... perhaps your counselor can point you in the right direction for that. Time, is of course a healer, but sometimes we need more than just time on our side.

I think you should be commended that you came through your past and that you want to live and carry on. You need to start feeling good about yourself...and the fact that you're a "survivor". Perhaps you can find solice in teaching others about your experience... you mention that you'd like to "help others" so they don't have to go through what you did. That may be your answer..... You sound like an awesome women... be strong, and keep living your life... you DO have alot to live for !! All the best to you !!

Life is a challenge.
You have come this far so don't step backwards now.
You may need some more counselling as I suspect from what you've just written that you are not strong enough yet.
You will one day be able to smile confidently.
I feel that you have other issues that are not dealt with.
When you say you hit rock bottom, something must have drawn you out. Whatever you find that gives you hope and belief in yourself is still there.
You need to nurture this.
Please do not blame yourself. We all go through darkness in our lives.
You will find the happy light soon and I wish you all the best.

I can relate to this and commend you highly for coming thus far. You need to keep it up and don't relent.
However, try group therapy and learn to appreciate yourself.
Engage in sporting activities or other hobbies. New relationships may be helpful too. Enjoy your son. Concentrate on being happy now and envisage brighter future. Time heals wound. STOP LOOKING FOR THE SCARS.
GOD IS WITH US. YOUR MUM IS PROUD OF YOU TOO.
