To better days
She came over last night. Because I was so dissociated I didn’t feel alive. I could not let my 11 months clean come to an end and did something I didn’t think I was ready for. I accepted help. She came over, got me food and helped me eat. She listened without judgement and didn’t say anything about the anxiety that was showing physically. She laid her head on my chest and just helped me breath.
Did it solve everything? No. But it brought me back to a place where I could just be again. Today was low but I can’t definitely feel the difference.
She came because she wanted to. She helped because she wanted to. And in that moment, that meant the world.
Here is to unlearning toxic behavior as a result of trauma. Here is to feeling the healing.
