Having a really tough time

These past few weeks have been a real struggle for me.  For a variety of reasons.  This weekend was tough and has carried through to this week.  I am trying hard to remember that every moment is a new moment, and every day is a new day.  I was talking with my husband over the weekend about how hard it is for me to ask for help.  I know it's difficult for a lot of people.  Being a trained counselor, it is just a struggle for me to not always want to BE the support instead of NEEDING it.  I am still a work in progress.

My good friend is a counselor too.  She always says the best counselors are the ones that can learn to accept counseling.  We are all works in progress.  I also find it hard to accept help.  I just asked my PCP for a referral for counseling.  Hubby is worried because I still can't see how much weight I have lost!  Me I want to find out why I have medicated myself with food for all these years.  I pray that you can find peace.

I am also a therapist and have an appt with my therapist this afternoon.  Self care is especially important if you are in the industry of helping others.

(((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))) I'm not a Therapist although I've been told I need to see one from time to time I believe it's true that everyone needs a Therapist from time to time. I also know how hard it is to ask for help. I believe as a counselor you hear so much and you MUST do something to shake it off and not let it all become unhealthy for you.

i am also a work in progress, so you are not alone!

Thank you for your kind words everyone!
