Trigger Warning: this post discusses personal experiences with challenging, difficult times that may be sensitive to some readers. However please know that it also contains motivational advice and tools for healing along the way. Your wellbeing is paramount. ❤️The decision to keep reading is entirely yours and no one else’s!❤️❤️

The concept of being ‘broken’

When we talk about feeling ‘broken,’ we are referring to a deep, debilitating emotional wound caused by significant pain, loss, or trauma. These experiences often damages one’s self-perception, leading to low self-esteem and the persistent inability to experience joy, love, or trust.

A very important reminder

This feeling doesn’t look the same for everyone. For some, it is a single defining event, while others may experience it multiple times. Our unique life stories and the challenges we face on a daily basis determine both of our broken feelings and how often they resurface.

The rockbottom’s weight

Another profoundly aspect of feeling ‘broken’ is the sense of not being able to keep going on with life. It can feel like you have hit absolute rock bottom, creating immense emotional barriers that prevent you from engaging with the world.

This emotional barrier is fueled by ongoing sadness, persistent feelings of hopelessness, a constant sense of inadequacy, and the inability to navigate life with a sense of tranqhility and happiness.

Sharing a bit of my story…❤️

I am someone who has reached rock bottom several times in my life. I remember clearly one of the first times that happened. I was just 15 years old and things were really hard for me. I was struggling to cope at school due to my general anxiety of not feeling okay.

Sharing raw truths…

My anxiety had worsened a lot, and I began to somatize through difficulty in breathing, and struggling to stay calm so I didn’t have to go to the toilet every single minute. Plus, my classmates started bullying me with mean and indirect strategies—using words and gestures around my back. This made it nearly impossible for me to defend myself and, sadly, made it harder for my parents and previous therapist to believe me.

The bullying, and the humiliation made me even more vulnerable, which caused me even more stress.

This really difficult time created a distorted view of myself: one without a proper voice and with so much shame inside.

The Resilience In Me ✨😊

In this really heavy time I found a light through the discovery of modeling. I am so grateful I found this passion because despite the hurt people at school inflicted on me on and on, I gained the courage to fight back and step into my own dimension of becoming a professional model 😊.

Realizing I could actually become a model gave me a voice to fight back and speak up.✨

The Power to Rebuild ❤️✨

My journey to become a model made me see that broken pieces can be rebuilt into something even more powerful and strong. ❤️

Now, I don’t know why you may have reached rock bottom, and I don’t know your story, but know this: the strength to get up from something really difficult that has happened to you takes incredible inner courage. No matter where you are in life—still at rock bottom, recovering slowly, taking scary decisions, or trying something new—you are worthy to find peace of mind, self-love, self-trust and other strengths you might still struggle to embrace.

Some Tools along the Way…❤️✨

• Write your Story in Your Journal: one of the things I like doing to encourage me to take command of my narrative is writing. I think it’s a powerful way to realize that you are the author—a courageous one who is actively acknowledging what you’re going through.
• Deep Breathing Exercises: I find that learning various breathing techniques like the 4-7-8 method, is a powerful way to manage and lower your stress within you.
• External support: No matter how challenging and difficult it might seem to ask for help know that you are worthy to receive help and support along the way. Keeping everything inside of you out of fear could become a problem the more you move forward with your life.
• Don’t underestimate your resilience: never take for granted your resilience—that little voice in you telling you to fight back, or whatever it is that makes you smile or gives you comfort along the way.

No Matter How Hard You’ve Hit Rock Bottom, The Resilience in You Still Shines. The Strength Still Lies in You. ❤️✨

Much Love and Light ❤️✨

Sofia Lena 😊
