To my past self...

# Awarded without permissionWhile enduring my mother's nastiness every day

24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 2-3 years alone.

At the end of last year, we fell to each other.

As a result, my mother is a special...

i ended up with a mental disorder

Separate lives and finally released...

Sometimes I've even forgotten who I am

the fact that i disappeared from my parents' memories

i did a lot of damage

Now it's all back to me.

Keep being nailed

How many times have I self-harmed...

I did my best 👏# Awarded without permission # Lemon 8

... Read more長期間にわたる家族との厳しい関係は、心身に大きな負担をもたらします。私自身、毎日のように母の怒声や否定的な言葉に耐えながら生活し、それが積み重なって精神的に追い詰められ、ついには精神障害を発症してしまいました。 しかし、別々の生活を開始してから、少しずつ自分自身を取り戻すことができました。親の記憶から自分が消えてしまったと感じる深い孤独感や、自傷行為に走った苦しい体験もありましたが、そんな自分を肯定し、よく頑張ったと認めることが今の回復につながっています。 この経験から、家族との関係が辛い時は一人で抱え込まず、信頼できる人や専門機関に相談することの大切さを強く実感しています。また、精神的に苦しい時は無理をせず、自分を労わる時間をつくることが回復への第一歩になると感じました。 同じように家族の問題で悩む方々に伝えたいのは、自分の気持ちを大切にしてほしいということ。過去の自分に手紙を書くなら、「よく耐えたね、偉いよ」と労いたいです。痛みを乗り越えた先に見える新しい自分との出会いは、きっと人生を豊かにしてくれます。
