akc,
Please hang in there and ask for even more help than you think you might need. My therapist would tell me to think about how much help I need and then she told me to ask for double that. I always tend to think I need less help than I really need.
Hugs!
I hope it gets better,
Simcha.> I stand here feeling so miserable. Full of sadness, fear, aloneness, shame. Overwhelmed by all the feelings. Desperately wanting relief. I have two ways I can go -- my way, seeking immediate relief of some sort -- or trusting my therapist, and sitting in this misery. On one level I know I need to trust and endure. But on another level, I don't know if I can.
