My DB journey has been so encouraging thus far. It is comforting to know that there are people with the same struggles as myself. I believe that when we make decisions that aren't so beneficial it can lead to another bad choice and yet another. If you are anything like me there is an occasional spirit of shame that comes over me and I tend to recluse. I am learning that this is one of the most harmful things I can do for myself. When I do so I feel sad, alone, and unaccountable. Therefore, make choices that aren't getting me where I need to be. I started to feel down and discouraged and saw myself checking in on the site less and less. I mean, it's kind of true that nobody wants to lose at something. I get the negative mentality of " I don't want to play no more :-("
But, when I make a choice and log in just to read posts and update my info I come across so many that go through what I go through, yet they dont isolate themself, but have the ability to utilize eachother to bring them out of the funk they are attempting to overcome.
Today I am encouraged. I won't give up. I am an overcomer, and I refuse to stay isolated. I won't let my circumstances steal my joy, I won't let it get me off track, I won't let it negatively affect others through me. I will turn to others. I will cry out to God. I will not submit to the stronghold of isolation, for it is the enemy!!
