Positive recovery post - New beginnings, but still questions
So everything is falling into place! I thought I was the last to believe recovery was possible, but I've been free of SI for over half a year. I could give a longer story, but my mind has been whirling the last few days, and that's finally a good thing!
But the scars are still here. I'm in a relationship now, and I'm very happy, and she's very happy. She knows I've had a rough past, I've been pretty open about everything, but I haven't been able to tell her about the scars yet. I'm sure she's seen some of them. I know her feelings toward me won't change, we're both pretty understanding, but I have no idea what her reaction will be. It's not an easy thing to talk about... I admit I'm scared. I could use a little advice.
But I intended this to be a positive post, and I will end it on a positive note. I'm happy for the first time in years, and in a way I always knew was a feeling for other people, not for me. My life is moving forward. After standing still for years, I'm moving forward. Don't ever give up.
