ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE OF KAREN.........
its raining here and cold again, but thats ok bc the rain will make all the spring things just that much more gorgeous. i have to work tomorrow so the rain doesn't much bother me in that respect too. today is a better day than yesterday. (smile)  had a shit load of emails today too. it was so nice to hear from friends and make new ones. i didn't know i stirred up such a  hornets nest as i must have and apologize for worrying anyone. i just need to really be as honest as possible here and sometimes that includes the scary thoughts in my head. i know that self destruction is in my blood and i need to work it out. today i met a new friend on the IM and he told me that i should love me and celebrate myself. don't know how to do that. last night a very special person in my life told me that i don't need anyone to make me feel special, that i am that all by myself. i cried as i usually do when someone hits close to home. they basically said that i am special and that anyone that enters my life isn't going to make any difference bc i'm already there. it's just icing on the cake (so to speak).  i cried again. how do some people become so insightful and others seem to miss the boat? how does this person see in me what i fail to see in myself? as i read the comments and listened to friends i am finding it almost believable. need to continue to listen to good people. definitely more therapy is needed here. 
  someone else told me today that this is going to be like peeling an onion layer by layer. what made me think i could walk out after literally years of abuse mentally, physically, and sexually and think for one moment that all would just be peachy keen? how naive is that thinking? one moment i'm getting attacked and punched and the next day i'm just fine and dandy? don't think so karen! hell it takes me longer than that to recoup from one of tabasco's little jaunts. crying is cleansing. talking is healing. listening to positive comments and feedback is power. whoa, is that a deep thought or what? u good people here better watch out bc i may actually learn something here. LOL i may learn that i am not a fucker upper, or a waste treatment plant, or a bad person or the piece of shit i've been told i am for longer than i care to ponder over. i am special. thats all i can think about. i must have thought about that statement at least a hundred times today.
i am special and i don't need anyone to make me feel that way bc i just am. that little tidbit will be my mantra from now on. i want it on a tee shirt. i want it tattooed on my butt (just kidding,lol) but i do want it blazened in my brain to never forget. whats up for tomorrow? will it be another good day or a bad one? will i need my pillow for screaming or coffee cups to throw? (that was another suggestion today) i have lots of pillows and mega coffee cups, screaming and throwing will definitely be in the realm of possibilities. any other suggestions will be gratefully accepted.....hit men.............contracts.......pay pal. lol 
  anyway i'll sleep better tonight knowing that today was better.  maybe tomorrow will suck again. i don't know. no one does but its my tomorrow and its just another day in the life of karen............ peace and harmony

I agree with BlueMoonInMyEye, just scrap all the negative words that he has ever said to you. If you feel like the negative things are creeping in just say out loud if you have to "Its a Lie" and believe it.

Those are some great words to remember. My daughter sees a therapist for her OCD, and what she was told to do to help her get over her obsticals, was to repeat things outloud to herself... like in your case, to say outloud..."I AM special, I don't need anyone to make me special." I know that may sound strange, but what it does is, it trains your mind to believe that. It's an OCD trick. Just like if someone tells you something over and over, you HEAR it, and eventually believe it. Well if you say it in your mind, your brain never hears it. Your ears have to hear it first, then your brain will hear it. If you say it enough times, your brain will begin to believe it. It really does work.
It has really helped my daughter get past some terrifing fears.
No one deserves to suffer the way that you have. I am so sorry for what you have been put through, but I am soooo proud of you for fighting your way out of it.
I will pray very hard for you and a happy and successful road ahead.

Hi Karen, You express yourself and know yourself very well. It shows in your writing every time. No, it won't be easy every day, but that mantra of yours will work wonders. You ARE special, repeat after me! You are a survivor and a beautiful person. Forgot all that negative, toxic crap he fed you, all lies to keep you trapped and wounded. I've known many birds with injured wings who soared afterwards. You will, too.

Lots of love,

Ellie
