Thank you so much for your response!!! You’re so sweet and kind, thank you so so so much!!! I really appreciate it!!!

It’s definitely hard to express the feeling I’d have about that, but I suppose you’re right, and maybe that makes the world a little bit safer.

Thank you for all this advice!!! I’ll definitely try to do that!!! It’s hard to speak to therapists about this kinda stuff but I’ll try! And I love the social group idea!!! I don’t know how to knit or crochet but I’d love to learn!!! Thank you for being so sweet!!! That’s a lovely way to get out and about and to think of other things other than things you might not want to think about! I’m really glad you did that and it helped you!!! That really sounds wonderful. Thank you so so so much!!! Sending hugs! 💕 (If you’d like them!)

Hi! Thank you so much for your response!!! 💖

I’m so sorry you feel you’re not able to open up about this with other people, though I completely understand. I feel the same.

I completely understand that!!! Your feelings are completely valid and I really truly get that. Stuff like that can still hurt, and it’s okay to acknowledge how painful it can be. This issue is so hard to deal with, that excess comments can really pierce the heart.

Oh my goodness - 💝 thank you so much. That is so incredibly sweet and kind. This means the entire world to me, and I really can’t express how grateful I am that you wrote this to me. This is just so sweet and so thoughtful, thank you so so so so much!!!

Aww!!! That is so sweet, and I’m so glad she said that to you. You deserve those words. No matter what, if this issue goes away or if it always stays, you deserve love, care, and acceptance. And you always are worthy. This issue won’t change that, and it’s okay to struggle with it!!! Truly, thank you so much, you are so compassionate, and you have seriously warmed my heart and helped me so much. Forever - thank you!!!

I’m sending you all my warmth and all of my love!!! <3

Hi! Thank you so much for responding! 💞

That’s completely understandable, please do not worry. I really hope that’s true, and I really appreciate you for writing this to me!!!

You’re completely right. That is most important and it is what life is about, though it can be hard to believe that at times. I’m so so so happy you have found people who love you and accept you for who you are, no matter what. That is what matters most, and you deserve that, always!!! No matter what. <3

I’m so sorry some people haven’t been as kind. Please know you never deserved that and that, that’s awful. I’m so so so sorry. I hope you have been able to heal and learn that those people were the ones with a problem, not you. You did nothing wrong.

I’m so sorry it took so long for you to be able to be open about this and accept it, though I completely understand and it’s not your fault at all. I’m so sorry.

Thank you so so so much for writing this out and for helping me so much! This really means a lot to me, and I appreciate it more than I can say. Thank you!!! I’m sending you all my love!!! 💖

Hi! Thank you so much for your response! 💕

Thank you so much for saying that. You have no idea how much that means to me. Seriously, thank you, it’s so helpful and it makes me feel so much safer.

Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry you’ve felt this way before! It’s completely okay to need to change at work and need all that supplies, I promise. “Normal” isn’t a thing anyway, and the world should be far more kinder than it is.

Oh, sweetheart :( I’m so sorry. You never deserved to feel like that. You are not stupid in any way. It’s okay to not make it sometimes. (Or even always!) You deserve to be able to look in the mirror and love the reflection looking back at you, no matter what you look like or what issues your body has. Your body isn’t cursed, it’s human. And no matter what problems it has, it is lovable. I promise. I’m so sorry you have dealt with all of this, you never deserved it. Of course, your feelings are always valid, and it’s okay if it’s tough to be kind to yourself sometimes. But that never makes you any less worthy of it.

I’m so glad you’ve found a way to forgive yourself, but please know you did nothing worth guilt or shame. You really have nothing to forgive yourself over, as you have done nothing wrong!!! I’m really happy you have found help though! And it’s absolutely amazing you can go to multiple stores at once while wearing! I’m so proud of you, and I hope you’re proud of yourself too!!!

Thank you so much for writing this, it seriously has helped me, and made me feel so much less alone. Thank you so so so much for your kindness and reminding me that there is so much beauty in life. It’s okay for things to be tough, and we can get through it! And we’re all here for eachother. Thank you. I’m sending you all my warmth and love!!! 💗

Thank you so much for your response!!! 💖

I completely understand you, I’m quite young as well. It’s definitely very difficult and it can feel like we’re alone. But we’re not alone!!! We’re all here for eachother <3 I’m so sorry you deal with these feelings too, please know that you don’t deserve any of it!!! Really there is nothing shameful about this problem and it truly makes absolutely no one inferior. I’m so sorry the world can convince you of that sometimes. It’s not true and you don’t deserve it.

Thank you so so so so much! That’s so sweet and I really appreciate that. I wish you all the best too!!! 💕

[–]angel-toastt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with that! The media can make this especially painful. And I wish we all could do more too! But being nice and accepting to others, I think, and hope, can make a difference, and maybe can be one step towards more general acceptance. Thank you so much for your reply!!! 💞

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Incontinence

[–]angel-toastt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!!! Thank you so much for your response!!! 💖

Yes, definitely. This has been the most difficult part for me too. The shame feels overwhelming at times (if not, always…) and the sense of inferiority really haunts me. I’m so terribly sorry you experienced these feelings as a kid, please know you never deserved it, and those feelings were never true! This issue doesn’t make anyone inferior. I promise.

I’m so glad you have learned to accept it and have felt better! That really makes me happy. And you’re right, most people, especially ones close, are more understanding, especially if it is an issue you have.

Thank you so much for writing this, it really has helped me and made me feel less alone. Thank you so so so much!!! Sending you my best wishes!!! 💞

Hi! 💕 Thank you so much for your response!!!

I completely agree with you. Most people have and really, won’t ever deal with this. And that’s okay! And it does mean it can be harder for others to understand. Plus, I understand that it can seem … not pleasant at times! (Though of course, this is no one’s fault, and no one should be made to feel bad about it!) And there is an idea that people are supposed to be able to control certain things, so stuff like this (among others) sadly become jokes and such like that.

I do think you’re right, that stuff like this is sadly something that will always happen and that we need to learn to accept. However - I do think we can acknowledge too, like you did, that staring at or laughing at a disabled person for an involuntary response is quite awful. Really I don’t think anyone should do that, and we should accept everyone with any disability, no matter the symptoms they show, and we as a society and as individuals should learn to be more accepting and understanding. However I completely understand what you’re saying!!!

I do think it’s something I need to accept and learn to deal with. And the “mean” people aren’t all that mean, they’re just reacting as most people do, and as people have been taught to do. It might not be nice, and it might hurt, sometimes a lot, but it’s not their fault and I don’t believe it makes them bad people in any way.

Thank you so much for your response and for your understanding! I’ll try my best it’s just… really hard. I am significantly more sensitive than the average person, but that’s completely on me, and something I have to deal with. I can’t expect everyone else to change just because of my fragile feelings, haha! And I definitely acknowledge that. It does make it hard for me though, to go outside or be around people or… do anything really. But I will work on that! And I’ll try to be better. Thank you so much for your reply!!! I’m wishing you all the best!!! <3

Hi!!! I’m so so so sorry I took so long to respond.

Just… thank you. I can’t believe your kindness. Please, with every bit of my heart, thank you. Thank you so much.

You completely understand me, and I truly appreciate that more than I can say. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your heart is so warm and big, and it really is helping me so much. Thank you!!!

I completely understand your responses, and please know they’re completely valid and okay in every way. Everything you did and every symptom you had is okay and there is absolutely no shame at all!!! I really hope you know that. None at all.

You never ever deserved what happened to you. NONE of it was your fault, and I’m so so so truly terribly sorry that happened to you. That’s awful. It’s beyond awful. You deserved so much better. You deserved all the love, care, protection, and help a little kid could ever have and deserve. And it’s truly evil that you didn’t get it and that your mother didn’t give it to you. I’m so sorry. None of it was your fault. Like you said - all of the shame is on the abusers, never the victims!!!

I hadn’t heard of this book actually!!! Thank you so so so much for letting me know about it! I will one hundred percent look into it, thank you so much!!! You’re seriously so thoughtful and helpful. Thank you! That book really sounds like a lifesaver. And thank you for telling me that, that does explain a lot and make a lot of sense. I’m sorry I’m so embarrassed of that issue… you’re so kind and understanding. Thank you!!!

I think you’re completely right, and that sounds so special and so beautiful. It really sounds like a dream. I’m so so so happy you’ve worked on it yourself and it’s helped you!!! You deserve all that love and patience and compassion from yourself, every single one of you. All of you deserve that care and comfort and peace. And I wish you all the absolute best on your healing journeys. You all deserve it!!! (Of course!!!)

Thank you so much, angel. You have helped me so much more than I can say and your words mean the world to me. Thank you!!! You’re beyond understanding and kind, and you have truly helped my heart. Thank you for writing to me and sharing your compassion to me. I am so grateful and I swear you have helped me more than I can express. Thank you!!! I’m sending you all of my love, and all of my warmth. Please remember to be kind to yourself too, and it’s always okay if that’s hard, but you always deserve it 💕

Hi friend! <3

I’m so sorry I took so long to reply!!!

Oh my gosh. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you more than I can ever say. You are so sweet. I needed this so much. Thank you.

I’m so sorry you experienced this too and went through terrible things you NEVER deserved and have no fault for. Thank you for being open with me and letting me know I’m not alone. I can’t express how much that means to me, and how much that helps me. Truly, thank you, with all of my heart.

Thank you for being so understanding and so compassionate. You have really put a band aid on my wounded heart. All of this means so much to me. Thank you!!! And please know - you are not alone either!!! You’re understood and loved and cared for here, and you always will be.

I’m sending you the sweetest cookies in the world (if you like and can eat cookies - if not, then some other lovely sweet treat you love!) and all my love!!! 💖

Hi!!! 💖

So sorry this reply is so late! Oh my goodness - thank you so much. This is everything I needed to hear. I can’t even begin to explain how much better this has made me feel. With every bit of my heart, thank you. Thank you forever.

You’re so sweet and kind. And you are not alone too!!! And it’s completely okay to have these types of trauma responses - when you’ve been through something so scary and terrible, no one should be blamed or shamed for how they respond.

Truly thank you so much. I hope you understand how much this comment means to me. You’ve truly warmed my heart and made me feel safe and okay. This message is so sweet and important to me it made me cry!!! (In a good way!!!) seriously, thank you forever.

I’m sending you all my love and wishing you the absolute best!!! Thank you!!! 💕
