This is my bedtime routine for anxiety, insomnia, and self-care. This has been an absolute game changer for me so I'm hoping it does the same for you. Goodluck my survivors.
I was molested by several people in my family, my sister that is also 3 years older than I, was one that molested me. When I told my Mother she laughed, and said "they" didn't know what they were doing, so I didn't "understand" either. I didn't trust my Mom after this, and hated her all my life. You see, I was the scapegoat in the family, I was emotionally, physically, and sexually abused by many. As an adult, I realized, I needed to cut ties with my family, I was finished with the painful comments made to me, and how they made me feel so worthless. I am now 72 years old, and I still have depression, and many bad days. I have tried to LOVE myself [and the little girl that I was]. It is so painful to feel unloved, but I found strength in my faith, and the love of Jesus. I so admire you, in that, you can do whatever makes you ready for bed, or can do what you wish.......you see, I have a husband that has parkinsons, and it would not be possible for me to try to relax before bed, nor during the night......I love your videos, please make more for us to see. You are so talented. Bless you.
Hi, I was a CNA for 9.5 years and worked with many people who have Parkinson’s so I understand your inability to find time for yourself. This was one of the things I worked on with families was pushing them to go so things for themselves while I cared for their loved one or even just relaxing a bit. Self care looks like many things: a shower, making a nice meal, listening to music, etc. I’m sorry your family did the same the same to you that my family did. We never deserved that treatment but it is so hard to feel lovable when we haven’t been loved. Hold on to the ones who treat you like you’re one in a million- because you are. Books aren’t made of sunshine and rainbows.. they’re made of storms.
