I forgive no one
who ever harmed me
intentionally
and is not sorry
for having done so.
I forgive no one
who kicked me while down
because it was fun,
and when I complained
said I deserved it.
I forgive no one
who benefitted
financially by
selling me snake oil
when I sought a cure.
I don't forgive the
therapists claiming
to help me, who blamed
me and labeled me
treatment resistant.
I do not forgive
God and his minions
who offered relief
in return for my
money and my soul.
In fact, the only
person I forgive
for causing me pain
and denying me
happiness is me.
To be clear, I am
still angry about
how they treated me,
but I no longer
let it rule my life.

Excellent.
Stick to this!
That’s the plan!
I’m still trying to forgive myself, that may take a very long time. Stick with your plan
It comes. It took me a long time. Don’t give up.
“Treatment resistant” – I suppose they were too arrogant to even consider that they weren’t getting it right?
Oh, mental health is much like everything else here: if it’s not working it’s your own damn fault. If it is, it’s the therapist, or Jesus, or guru du jour who made it happen.
Well said. After all, you’re the one who deserves happiness without baggage!
Forgiving isn’t for them, but for you. You will feel lighter and happier if you’re not holding on to grudges.
F* them, and you don’t have to forget, but it could serve you well if you can let go…
Oh look! Another person who thinks they know better than me what I need! Riddle me this: would you tell a Holocaust survivor they have to forgive Hitler? And if you would, you scare the hell out of me.
Haha, you served me right. I’m sorry. Truly
