Why would I do that? When my body is hurting from such excruciating pain all over and everywhere, why did I choose that extra torture?
I was ashamed at my body for letting me down;
I was ashamed especially at an invisible, "made up", "in your head" "you don't look sick" "crazy women's disorder. And the shame and guilt to this day is a daily battle. 😔
As a Christian I know that "God don't make no junk"! But trying telling yourself that in the throes of depression is an uphill battle!
What about you?
Do you struggle with guilt and shame?
Please don't be ashamed my dears! If you have those feelings, it is because you were used to giving 110% and being everything for everybody. How awesome you were and still are, just in a different way.
I remember hating my body so much that I didn't want to take proper care of it. Daily hygiene was a total internal struggle.
