Ever since “it” happened, life just has not been the same.
Crowds. Too much noise. Driving. They all get you amped up or angry.
If it’s not amped up or angry, it is numbness.
You want to be able to feel again. Being numb was not supposed to last this long.
To laugh. To smile. Even to cry. Just to feel something besides empty or angry.
Friends have asked – pleaded – for you to seek out help. But no one can truly “understand.” So, you just put it in a box and keep it to yourself.
But relationships have suffered. Relationships with family. And friends. Even the way you interact with people who try to talk to you in Safeway has changed.
And you just feel alone.
Until today
Today is the day you reach out. Today is the day you stop trying to do it on your own. Today you realize the importance of getting healthy – not just for you – but for those you love. And those who love you.
Today is the day you remember you haven’t gotten this far in life on your own. That asking for help is not a weakness. Today is the day everything begins to change..
