[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was a weird and specific incident. Basically a former friend and mentor said some unspeakably cruel thing to me at a moment when I was already in a very low place mentally. I don’t think realized how close to the edge of something dangerous I was until this happened. It was t just about this incident— I was dealing with some childhood trauma resurfacing, and a hormone change that was causing depression, and then this person who’d been an important mentor figure to me talked to me in this extremely critical, harsh way, and it pushed me over the edge.

The subsequent year were the most emotionally tumultuous of my life. I started self harming and having regular thoughts about suicide. I woke up every morning feeling like I had no value to other adults. Literally the thing that saved me was that I had young children, and they gave me purpose, a reason to live, and a reminder that I had value to someone. It was also scary though, recognizing how much they needed me even when I was in that place.

Digging myself out of that is the most important thing I’ve ever done. Please be kind to people. Even if you don’t like someone or are angry with them. [b]Remember that you don’t know where they might be. You don’t have to pile on or twist the knife. You don’t have to take out your issues on someone else. No one deserves to feel completely worthless. No one[/b].[/quote]

You put this into words so well. Your kids need their compassionate mom, not everyone realizes how much kindness matters.[/quote]
