He Broke Me

<div class="ExternalClass9D7B9716E08C4587B36F35A442B43444">Lately my life has been falling apart. I dated this guy who I liked so much. I changed who I am for him, ditched school, let him emotional abuse me, ruined all my friendships. He left me for someone else. He told me he only loved me but he kept leaving. He emotional and physically broke me. I don't know how to fix myself. </div>

<div class="ExternalClass9A5A2A9EF21D48B7A5DC92AB1543EF50"> We are really glad that you decided to reach out today. We can understand how upset you might be feeling but please understand, you can feel better. You can get yourself back and feel so much better if you follow these steps. They don't have to be in a certain order but just do these things and be very good to yourself. Find support. Talk with a supportive adult about what has been going on. An adult is mature enough to help you make the best decisions for yourself. This could be a parent, older sibling, teacher, counselor or other family member. Any adult you feel you can talk with. Look forward. Looking back and reminding yourself of all the things that happened or that were said only hold you back. They hold in a dark place and remind you of the hurt that you feel and felt. You don't need that. Looking back keeps you from seeing all the great possibilities that your future holds. You can't move forward while looking back. Nobody can or ever did/will. Take care of yourself. Physically take care of your body. Don't let yourself go. Eat right, get some exercise, sunshine and drink water. Sleep might be difficult sometimes but sleep during regular hours, at night. Do your best to care for yourself. Mentally you need to do the same. Don't beat yourself up. Don't remind yourself of the words he said or didn't say. Your relationship was not healthy and you need healing time. Use these articles to help you. Work on them daily. Use them as a guide to help you heal and know that we are always here for you. <a href="/Pages/tip-feeling-better-about-yourself.aspx">http://www.yourlifeyourvoice.org/v2/Pages/tip-feeling-better-about-yourself.aspx</a> <a href="/Pages/tip-101-positive-things-to-say-to-myself.aspx">http://www.yourlifeyourvoice.org/v2/Pages/tip-101-positive-things-to-say-to-myself.aspx</a> <a href="/Pages/tip-9-steps-to-taking-care-of-yourself.aspx">http://www.yourlifeyourvoice.org/v2/Pages/tip-9-steps-to-taking-care-of-yourself.aspx</a> <a href="/Pages/tip-99-coping-skills.aspx">http://www.yourlifeyourvoice.org/v2/Pages/tip-99-coping-skills.aspx</a> Call, email, chat or text when you can.
