If people cannot see my true worth and beauty first time round, why would I let them back a second time to do it all over again?"... For I know I am worth more than that, and you are too. Best of wishes to you.

A lot of great info in this thread, thank you everyone for contributing, and I hope it may be of help to another, too.
I would like to look into Schema Therapy, because the therapy I have been utilizing for the last several years is hard to use at times. Even the therapist herself doesn't use it as we navigate through my present life, which is difficult because I am told to use it consistently.
I feel like I never quite get to trauma therapy, which is seen as secondary therapy. It is the stuff to heal from to get my adult life turned around, and so I can feel better on a day to day basis.
Unfortunately, being my own guide has not helped me, and I need help, a team of sorts, just like most people have, because what I am doing isn't working. It doesn't work. I know it doesn't work, I repeat because it is all I've got, and when I have something to hold onto, I know it is only for a short time, so I go hard, and bleed it as much as I can.
The universe has granted me security, so I pray I get it right, and can make the long term change to maybe be able to enjoy life.
Elfin, I am very greatful for your post here, to reread, and have in place.
