You’ve been getting by on your own, doing the best you can, but you feel stuck.
You downplay how you feel, thinking, “Other people have it worse,” or “Nobody has it easy.” This helps a little, but it doesn’t really make the issues go away.
You also worry that, in your struggle, you’re hurting the relationships with the people who matter the most. That your pain is holding you back.
You deserve more than to be just getting by.
You deserve more than to be just surviving.
You deserve to feel calm even when things are hard, capable of handling what life throws at you, and connected with the people you love.
