Hey everyone, I think I’m going through the cocoon/hermit stage of healing, and I wanted to check if this resonates with anyone else or if I’m understanding it correctly. 🌀 Lately, I’ve been feeling super lonely, like I’m in this space of intense self-reflection and stage of transition, but at the same time, I wonder if I’m self-isolating a bit too much. It feels necessary—like I’m shedding old layers and trying to connect with my true self—but some days, it’s really hard to tell if I’m helping or holding myself back. I also feel very lost and sometimes it is hard to remember to have faith. If you’ve been through this stage, I’d love any tips or insights on how to navigate it. How did you balance the need for solitude with staying connected to others? And how did you make peace with the loneliness when it hit hard? Sending love 💛🦋

I watched my BF of 20 years turn down a murky, dark road. No matter what I did or said it wasn't good enough. Our friendship dynamic changed to her becoming an energy vampire and me trying to fix and help her. On my healing journey, I realized I had to say goodbye to her. That was three years ago. Today I got an email from her wishing me a happy new year and she'd love to work things out. I'm glad it happened because it made me realize I never mourned her. I learned a lot from that friendship. I kindly declined her request and then I cried. I feel so good putting myself first, but I'm feeling the emotions of losing her. I am sitting with them to feel and heal. Interesting that she reached out just as I have been moving out of my lone-wolf lifestyle and have made awesome new friends. She is a mirror of my old self. I feel like this is the Universe's way of making sure that I know I am on the right path―testing me. UPDATE: I'm realizing I didn't say that she responded to my email telling me to eff myself, called me self-righteous because I said I love myself now, and reminded me of who I used to be. She was filled with fury and it shocked me. She didn't appreciate the kind words I said, that I'm not the same person, that I always wanted to help her. Nope. She lost it on me. I responded by saying yes, I was that person once, but not anymore. I love you, Michelle. Goodbye. Block. 🙏💗

It’s taken me a minute - ok like months lol but I am finally starting to accept that yes, I am free to make my choices every day for myself and no one is going to shame me, blame me, abuse me or bully me for it. I don’t think I realized how much of me was still waiting for the “other shoe” to drop since I became free of my abusers this year. I mean it’s one thing to say “ok at 41 I am finally choosing myself” and then to finally - I mean completely grasp the truth of the statement. In part being in the government run facilities for abused women and kids did not help. It oddly just makes things worse in ways that only make you want to hide more. So maybe I had to leave there to reach this level of awareness. But it hit me today that no one is coming for me. They really aren’t. If you haven’t been subjected to decades of daily/weekly systematic abuse you may not relate to this post. But for me this - this is huge. And to think how many people never get to this point. It breaks my heart. If you’re a domestic abuse/childhood abuse survivor I only have one solid advice for you. Just don’t quit. I started my self love journey in 2012 - it had a lot of set backs, and I am definitely not finished, but the only thing I did consistently the entire time was i never quit. I had months at a time where I coasted, barely living, but eventually I always got sick of myself and tried again. And again. And again. And seriously that is all I know for sure that works. Never quitting. So even in your darkest days please remember it only requires a tiny, small amount of will to just keep going. That is all you need. The desire to not quit completely. The rest will find a way. I tell you this from experience. I should be a statistic. Targeted by a pedophile at 2yrs, placed into a kiddy porn ring, sexually and physically abused my entire childhood and adulthood (yes I literally sought relationships that harmed me as it was my normal). First time I tried to kill myself I was only 8. The worst part is, my life isn’t unique.
