I’m grateful for the kind, wonderful people who share their stories, experiences and wisdom online for free. via /r/gratitude

I’ve felt like something was wrong with me for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a country where it was nearly impossible to see a doctor, let alone a therapist or psychiatrist, I felt useless and broken and I blamed myself alot for not being “normal” like everyone else.

But things started to change when I began searching for ways to understand myself better and improve my life. It has been a long, exhausting journey but eventually I realized that so much of what I carried was trauma from my childhood. Now I’m on a healing path and I'm nowhere near cured but for the first time in my life, I don’t hate myself and actually feel hopeful about the future.

And all of it was only possible because of the countless free articles, books, videos, and posts created by people who only wanted to help others heal.

To those people, you reached me, you touched my life and made it better in ways I never thought possible. Thank you 💛🤍
