Hello! We have yet to meet, but I’m already proud of you for seeking help. It’s incredibly hard and frustrating, especially if you’ve done it before, but the fact that you’ve started searching is a big deal. Were you told to "get over it?"

To feel supported and cared for. To heal in a safe, judgment-free space. And to gain a sense of control over your life.
