This was for sure the hardest period of my life this far. I completely lost myself. I struggled with weight gain, hormonal acne, low self esteem, and my confidence was completely diminished. I hated myself. I hated my life. I never thought experiencing this level of pain was humanly possible. I was in a state of embarrassment and just trying to find ways to leave. The recovery was hard. This relationship challenged my strength. I never thought I’d make it out .... this is my story.
