I don’t know what to say. Your story is shocking and painful. But the way you bounced back is incredible. You are inspiring. I don’t understand why you have written that comment because I somehow got this idea from your comment that you are carrying some excess baggage in your heart and mind. Because maybe clutter is not present physically, it may remain in our hearts and mind in the form of depressing thoughts, and we need to get rid of that.

It is good to converse with some thoughtful people online. Very well said about believing in acts than words and promises. But, see I have guessed it right that you are awesome. It’s his loss who betrayed you. I am glad that courage is with you. Happiness and success find it’s own way. Glad to connect with you. Best wishes for your book and life! 🙂

Three years ago, I almost lost everything : my home, my spouse, my reputation, my ministry, and many friends… i lost my illusions, my first love, my dreams… Three years after, I’m alive, I regain a home, my spouse, never lost my faith and regain also my dreams, able to fullfill one : writing my first novel. So I’m full of gratitude. Writing this novel was the way God helped me to express all the suffering without complaining. In fact, I’m happy to talk with people on the web, to be included in a virtual tribe but I need more. I’m readdy to move on. Thanks for your Answer. I will follow your idea : writing on good stuff. I don’t have much to declutter for I lost most of my friends and we moved in a new place one year ago. I have to rebuild my life. And you’re right, I have to write about this resurrection… 🙂 Oh, I forgot to say that someone I loved with all my heart said I was so awesome and he betrayed me then. So I believe more in acts than in words and promises…Thank you, I appreciate your post : All the best too 🙂

Err…if I may say something here. I agree with Brian that there’s nothing wrong to seek help, but I don’t think you need a psychologist. It seems that you have kept many negative things/thoughts/people in your life. You know, some things/thoughts/people deserve to be ignore. You need to leave them behind and move on. Just like following your dreams, moving on is one of the best things you can do in your life. Declutter your mind/life. There’s a quotation by Eleanor Brown “Clutter is not just physical stuff, it’s old ideas, toxic relationships and bad habits. Clutter is anything that does not support your better self.”

And don’t stop writing! Writing itself is therapeutic. Creative Writing is like meditation. It’s perfectly okay to write about pain, sorrow, hardships. But do write about happy stuff. Like what makes you happy? What has given you the slightest of happiness in past few days. There must be at least one thing that had made you laugh. Think.

Read light fiction, like chick-lit, or Rom-Com. Travel, if you can. Talk to your actual good friend who never discourages you (Stay away from those who do!).

I have just read a nice quotation by GK Chesterton “Angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly.” Shed that excess baggage you are carrying. Trust me, you are awesome! Has anyone said this to you before. Think! 🙂

Sorry for this lengthy comment but I found your comment so intriguing that I just couldn’t shut up. All the best 🙂

Thank you!

I’ve noticed that trend to and I guess that’s just because it really does help to write things down 🙂

Thank you! I used to write a lot of fiction when I was younger and it was such a great way to release any feelings I was having. For example, if I was upset, I’d write a horror/suspense story. It really does help!

That can happen at times. Whenever that happens to me, I write it down. For example, I’ll write, “I have nothing to write right now. Nothing…” etc. Even that seems to help.

Thank you so much! I agree, writing daily is the only way to improve your writing 🙂
