I Haven't Been The Same

<div class="ExternalClass56561A49DDE448BB8CDFB613A552A6FB">I'm currently having a problem with how to appreciate myself and learn how to love myself. I had this boyfriend who used to abuse me mentally and ever since I just haven't been the same. And now another guy wants to date me but I can't get the courage to because of my ex. I actually fell in love with him and he just left for another girl and than I got mentally sick (depression eating disorder and anxiety) I have close to no friends and I don't know what to do. </div>

Getting through situations and experiences that are difficult takes time. We understand from what you have said, being in an abusive relationship has caused you to feel and do things that are not healthy for you. Sometimes you have to take time for yourself to get and feel better before you can be in a relationship with someone else. Taking care of you means that you have to make good decisions for your health. Take the time to talk out your feelings with trusted adults in your life. Make sure that you are getting plenty of sleep and are eating nutritiously. Give yourself time to heal. Our site has a “TIPS” page that you will find a lot of great articles for any situation. Here is one that we think you might find helpful about healing after a break up. Please take time to go through any other article you might find interesting or helpful. <a href="/Pages/tip-shoe-box-therapy.aspx" style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);">http://www.yourlifeyourvoice.org/v2/Pages/tip-shoe-box-therapy.aspx</a> Our counselors are here for you anytime.
