DON’T STRUGGLE ALONE

Don’t be ashamed. No one is perfect and we all need guidance. You can’t be strong 100% of the time. Ask for help. Asking for help does not make you weak. It requests the support of those who care, which is never a bad thing. Don’t struggle alone – seek support. Don’t be afraid to share your feelings with the people you love and trust. Reach out and others will reach out to you.

I’ve heard people withhold information and feelings because they say they don’t want to “push their problems” on others fearing that it’s selfish. Opening yourself up to others and admitting you need support is anything but selfish. Holding things in is only going to make it worse later on. Communication is key and by letting your feelings out, you will feel relief!

I believe healing occurs when you have the opportunity to share what you’re going through. Journaling or talking to others may help you get your feelings out. Feelings that you might not have even recognized you had. This will help you get different viewpoints and maybe even realize ways to cope. I encourage you to let it all out. Feel everything you need to feel! It’s definitely helped me!
