Every day is the same.
The alarm goes off, and all you want to do is stay under the covers and hide.
Frustration and anxiety take hold as you make a mental checklist of everything you need to do.
You feel overwhelmed and exhausted, but, like every morning, you plaster on a smile and pretend your way through the day.
The past still haunts you.
You try your best to always keep busy, so you don’t have to think about your problems.
But painful memories of the past are becoming more difficult to ignore.
You thought you’d be over this by now, and it’s frightening to admit that you aren’t.
You blame yourself for your shortcomings.
Why can’t I just get it together like everybody else?
I never seem to be able to do anything right.
This constant negative self-talk pushes you further into isolation and anger.
It’s affecting every part of your life.
You’ve been neglecting your responsibilities, and it’s starting to show.
Finances are a mess, and self-care has gone out the window.
All of your relationships are struggling, and you frequently snap at loved ones.
The usual things aren’t working anymore
If you hear one more person ask you, “What’s wrong? You seem different lately?” you feel like you really might lose it.
You have been working out more, listening to self-help books, taking hot showers, and going to bed earlier – but the moments of relief are temporary, and the thoughts don’t stay away for long.
It’s too much to bear anymore, and you feel like a letdown.
There is another way.
Don’t spend one more day just getting by.
Putting in the work is hard, but continuing to live your life this way is even harder.
If you are ready to take back control of your life, therapy can help.
Owning our story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy – the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness, will we discover the infinite power of our light
– Brené Brown
