Thank you for sharing all of this. The note in feeling like damaged goods is raw and powerful, powerful in that it takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to be in a place where one can disclose they are at such a low point. It’s truly hell and it feels like that’s how it’s you are always going to exist. The thing that kept me going was having people in my life who could see who I was underneath the pain and brokenness. Their voices were louder than anyone who questioned if I had anything left to offer to the world. As long as someone is alive, they are never too far gone or not worth helping.

Truly well said, Katie! And thank you!
