I think I'm scared to seek help...

I'm not really sure why, but I think I'm scared to go out and seek help. Maybe it's because then if I seek help, it makes it real. It makes it palpable. It makes it so it's not just something in my head. It makes me accountable. I'm sure I'm not the only one to think this. For those of you that waited and waited and waited to get help, what was it that finally got you to get help?

@littleDog8604 I can happily report that I've taken the leap and finally signed up for therapy. I've finally come to the realization that it's okay to not be okay and there are resources out there for all of us that can really help. I don't know why it took me so long to realize this (almost 41). Better late than never. 🙏

I'm happy to hear you decided to give therapy a try. I am the same way about having a hard time reaching out. I am finally doing it because I am at my lowest point ever and feel helpless.

@SelfLove86 It's really tough to take the leap, but finally talking to someone about things, someone that is outside of your life, who has a fresh perspective has been helpful. I still have a long way to go but I'm happy that I'm on this path now. I hope you can find solace in talking to somebody as well.
