Sometimes, you can’t even breathe.
The worry is overwhelming – you’re so bewildered. Constantly wondering what’s happened, what’s wrong – where have “you” gone?
You show up for work, late again – but you don’t – no, it’s like you can’t – care.
Somebody asks you how you are. “Fine,” you say with your best fake smile. We all know what that means. F***ed up. Insecure. Neurotic. Emotional.
Maybe you’re fooling them. Maybe not. Does it even matter?
Yes! Deep down, it matters to you! But that thought just makes you feel worse. If it matters so much, why isn’t your smile real?
Everything is so much harder.
You’re not sleeping well – not eating well – you snap at those you love, then feel guilty about it later.
Your normal routine disrupted, you wonder how you’re getting anything done.
You say mean things to yourself like “You’re fat,” or “Can’t you do anything right?”
You’ve been hiding for too long.
It doesn’t feel safe to share your struggle with anyone.
You worry if people knew the truth, they’d judge you and think that you can’t handle things. You’ve worked so hard to show the world that you’re strong.
You’re trapped. Darned if you do – darned if you don’t. If you get help, they’ll judge you. If you don’t get help… you shudder to think what could happen.
Getting help takes courage!
Reaching out for help is not a weakness; it’s a strength!
Nobody who has done great things did it all alone. Knowing when and whom to ask for help is a skill.
Sometimes asking for help means overcoming fear, but overcoming fear also means that you’re using your courage!
