I'm finally taking the steps I need to get help, I have no one to tell so here I am

I've been going through an extremely difficult time this past year and a half trying to make an abusive relationship 'work'. However I got fed up 2 days ago and got him away from me. I wanted to give up so bad through all of that, and yet now that it's finally over. I want to 'fix' all the damage he did to me and move on. I don't want to be a victim, I am a survivor. I called a helpline tonight, and I'm going in tomorrow to get assessed for therapy. It feels so good knowing that I will finally be able to get help for what I've been through, even though a part of me would rather forget about it and suffer in silence. I know my life isn't over and I will not let it be.

Everyone experiences everything differently, and no one would react the same way to what your going through as you, But just know it's not over. If it feels hopeless now, please just try to take the steps to get through this and be hopeful for tomorrow. I know I'm going to be. We cant really fix what is broken, but we can take steps to cope with it and accept it as a part of our identity.

I BELIEVE IN US !!
