That Stupid Secret “They” Never Tell You
Today I am obsessing like crazy over my insecurities.

Beautifully stated. I can relate, except to the last part where she seems to come to terms with her sexuality and the state of her body.
Please just shoot me. I can’t deal with myself today.
I think I need a medication adjustment. Or a new freaking brain. And I’ll take a new vagina while I’m putting in requests. One that has never been used, abused, traumatized, or an organ that I hate.

Sounds like you’re being hard on yourself today. These are the times that it’s most important to be gentle and loving with yourself – in the ways that you are gentle and loving and accepting with your daughters – it’s a good model for you to think about. In some ways, you are re-parenting yourself these days. You’ve had the experiences that you’ve had in your life – nothing can change that. And that was then, this is now and you get to process these things as an adult and a wife and a mother and with the help of therapy and exercises and medication and a loving husband. Keep breathing. Keep loving yourself. If you need another copy of “Learning to Love Yourself”, I can email it to you. I still encourage you to read it aloud every day – it’s made a big difference for me. I always applaud your courage in speaking out in the way that you do and in facing your fears and insecurities. We all have them – it’s just a matter of how you choose to deal with them. I love you very much.
