"After walking away from an abusive relationship 5 years ago, I have been STUCK! I have become Depressed, over weight & have yet to find a job. I lie to family and friends about how I'm doing all the time. I have seen numerous doctors & meds aren't helping. I just feel completely broken. I would love any advice you could possibly give me! Thank you for your time!"
You are a Hero! I commend you for having the Courage to Walk away so many women don't or never get a chance too. I walked away too.
What I would like to share with you is that Depression is not of God and neither is Abuse. The Devil lost his Stronghold (the abuse) on you but now he's trying a new one "the depression". Don't worry about being over weight. It's temporary! Just concentrate on being healthy. (follow my daughter on Facebook "Summer Wayans", a beautiful Plus Size Model and I must say that she struts it well. She is a great inspiration. I would like to suggest Pray Walks, on these Walks you pray to your higher power, Surrender it all. Pray for all the changes that you want to happen in your life. Don't worry about being unemployed and having to find a job. Maybe you can create a job for yourself. Think about your gifts that God gave only you. How can you turn it into a lucrative business? I am rooting for you. You are strong and determined to turn your life around or you would not have left your abusive relationship. Don't Give Up, It's Not An Option. Baby Steps .. Walk them in your Stilettos with your head held high. No more pain! Continue to follow the path of Happiness which is to Live, Love and Laugh. Remember when God closes one Door, he already has another one open for you. Take your time.
In Abusive relationships, the Abuser isolates you from family, friends and love ones. So I'm sure you are feeling alone. You're not alone. Humble yourself and reach out to those family, friends and love ones. Start rebuilding those relationships. Start with an "Apology" card, write inside the card that you would like to see them and how much you miss them.
Life is not over and change is always good. Look at this situation as a New Chapter of your Life's Journey. Pain takes us down a rough road that seems endless. It's not. Keep on Keeping On. Ducky is rooting for you!
P.s. In reading your correspondence, it made me rethink "Ask Ducky". Your story may encourage Victim of Abuse to leave. May I have your permission to share this on my "Ask Ducky" Blog. I would not reveal your name, it would say "Hi Unknown"). Please let me know your thoughts.
Keep Coming Back to "Ask Ducky".
Big Hugs
Always Ducky
