Waking up not fully rested, because you hardly sleep. You cannot greet the morning with smile, because nothing excites you. You experience pain at the end of work, because you feel overwhelmed. You're overthinking with negative thoughts because you lost hope and nothing motivates you. You surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges and allow trauma to control you. You cannot be present for yourself and your family. You need a confidential helping relationship, where you could talk about your problems. Seeking help can feel lonely and scary. You want to feel safe enough to share your thoughts and hurts and not be judged.
