Self Esteem & Positive Thinking Support Group

Hi everyone. My name is Jamie and im 18 years old. recently i have been trying to cope with my grandfathers death and the sexual assault that i went through a couple weeks ago. Since all has happened i find myself not caring how i treat myself or how others treat me. But recently i am trying to stay positive and just think about my future although it can be very tough at times.

Jamie, Firstly a very warm welcome to You to this dynamic caring support group. Secondly yet equally first heart goes out to you massively for all you have had to endure- the living nightmares you have had to endure- read your diary earlier today- as well as my heart reaches out to You for the sexual assault you had to face 2 weeks ago. Yet, even with all teh living nightmares you have faced you are trying to be positive as well as think of your future- this says much to me as to the kind of amazing individual you are, for sure.

Lean on us all here, including the fabulous GL's of Natty, John as well as myself Clarita- we are all here for you to help as much as we possibly can.

Heart goes out to you for dealing with the recent death of your grandfather, too. We have a post here with comforting words for those living with a lost loved one, too, so please check it out.

It concerns me that you say you do not care how others treat you right now or how you treat your fine self, yet, this is perfectly understandable as you are still emotionally raw with all that has happened to you. We can help you with this- boost your self esteem.

Go gentle on your good self please.

Tiny steps forward are okay, truly!

Life sure can be tough at times with a myriad of massive challenges.

You have come to the right place for support as this is a very caring group full of fabulous individuals!!

Rooting for you massivley Jamie.

Hold on tightly. Lean on us all.

Gentlest of warm welcoming hugs, love Clarita xooxoooxoox

Just seen this quote within your avatar- what beautiful poignant words- hope it is okay, just wanted to share them with the group just now!

Asking heaven to mightily bless you today Jamie- may it tremendously yet tenderly be so!

Gentle hugs, Clarita

Hi Jaime welcome to the group! I'm 16 and been through my own problems: Depression, cutting, eating issues..This group is amazing though and I know for me its changed the way I look at things and has really helped me. I'm sorry for what you've been through. I lost my best friend to suicide and I was raped when I was 7 so I can kind of relate. If you ever want to talk please feel free to PM me. I'm glad your here and I hope that you find this group as helpful as I do. Just jump into any discussion. Again welcome to the group.

I wanted to say thank you all for your support it means a lot. It put the firs smile on my face today

Hi Jamie, welcome to the group. I am sorry for the loss of your grandfather and very sorry about the other things you are dealing with now.

I saw that you are in some groups to help with the trauma's that have been such a part of your life. All I will say on those is that none of it was your fault in any way shape or form.

Like Clarita it concerns my that you don't care how you are treated by others or yourself. You deserve to be treated well especially by your self. We can't force others to treat us they way we want, but those who don't we can remove from our lives. We can't remove ourselves though. People can take many things away from us but there are things that they can't take. They can't take away our dignity, our integrity, our self worth, the strength of our heart nor the depth of our love. These are the lights that shine from inside that illuminate our stained glass in the night. You still have all of these and if you are having trouble finding them then let us help. That is what our group does is help you find all the good things that are you. Once again welcome, I'm glad you are here.

Gentle hugs.
