Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get out of a very bad situation, for example like an abusive relationship, domestic violence continuously happening at home, or any other dangerous situation. I ask this because I felt trapped in a very bad situation for a good chunk of my life. I thought that I’d never get out of it and after a while I started to think, “Maybe I don’t deserve any better.” Eventually I started to believe it. That belief will really mess you up and believe me, it took lots of time before I knew how to reverse that belief. The way I was able to reverse it might not work for everyone but I will give you some advice as to how you can begin to reverse that horrible belief.
How To Reverse That Life Threatening Belief “I Don’t Deserve Any Better”
- Catch yourself when you are having negative thoughts and re-adjust them
- Seek people who make you feel like you matter
- Tell yourself something positive everyday
- Realizing you have done nothing wrong
- Realizing that the person who is harming you is the one in the wrong and might be mentally ill
- Changing your thought pattern
What To Do When You Are Being Abused Mentally Or Physically
I know that sometimes it is extremely difficult to reach out to anyone and tell them what is going on. But trust me, if you find even just one person who you can fully trust, telling them the situation could help a lot. They might give you the courage to leave the person if you are in a physically abusive relationship, or if you are being abused by a parent or abused in anyway, that one person who you can trust might just give you the courage to remove yourself from the abusive situation. Some of the time removing yourself from the situation isn’t easy or sometimes is near impossible. So another thing I recommend doing if you are being abused in anyway is reaching out to the police or a counselor, and telling them the details of what has happened. Sometimes it is very hard to express what has happened, but trust me, things will get a heck of a lot better after the right people know what has been going on, because then your abuser will most likely be persecuted and an investigation will start. After this happens there is a huge chance you can begin to feel safe and start building yourself back up again. I really hope that some of my advice can help you in someway.
