Hello everyone. NIEVE here giving you a little input on my life... and why
loving yourself makes the world a whole new place..
I have been through depression, deep depression. Never loved myself for who I was. It's tough getting by when you think about it. But here's how it goes.
When I was 12 years old, my sister and I got in an accident. We were walking across the street, when a car came up from the side, and sent her through the front window, and I skidding on the bottom. My sister has a B-9 brain tumor now. And I have scars that won't go away. Hospitalized for 3 months with coma. My sister, on the other hand, was VERY lucky to even wake up.
At the age of 14, I was intoxicated with a drug in my system that gave me kidney damage. I was poisoned. In surgery for 6 hours. Possibly never able to ever drink an alcoholic beverage the rest of my life, for the damage it did to my body.
Depression showed itself through the years. When I got back from the hospital when I was 12, people changed the ways they looked at me. I wasn't someone "normal". I was a "wheelchaired freak" for months. I hated myself, so I became anorexic. That one word changed my life. Anorexia -- a disease. Knowing this, I did it more. Never ate, never slept.
I had to change my life around, and I knew that. So guess what I did? I put my feet back on the ground. Ate more and more a day, and got through the tough times. I was a flower in bloom... but I never bloomed until about a year ago. I'm in a new place now, and I've learned it's good to know who your true friends are when you need them most..
That's why I say, if you're feeling down and hating yourself for who you are... think back to MY story. How I was able to pick myself up again and try my hardest. Love yourself for who you are.
Thanks for your time,
NIEVE
