Some say it’s not worth it,
it has never worked for me.
For a long time, I felt that way also.
I had been to a lot of counselors
and therapists who never gave advice.
They just sat, listened (or maybe they didn’t)
AND PRETENDED LIKE THEY CARED
About five years ago,
I started seeing a therapist who prescribed meds.
She also believed in the healing power of certain foods.
The problem was that I DID NOT WANT TO JUST FEEL BETTER.
I wanted to find tools to help me heal.
About three months ago,
I started taking to a wonderful counselor
(we will call her Rebecca).
For the first time
I felt that someone was truly listening to me.
She made me feel like I was something.
She taught me coping skills
so that I would not rely just on medication.
I was sad when our sessions ended.
Then I did A LOT of research online
and found my current counselor.
(We will call her Amber.)
She has helped me see
that is not only ok to have a voice but to use it.
I realized that it was easier
to rediscover who I am rather
than continuing to look at my life
through rose colored glasses.
My problem is I had been lying
to myself about who I am.
I have forgotten who and what I am.
I know that I love hard
I am a caregiver.
Other than that, I have lost my way.
I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD
TO FINDING OUT WHO I AM AGAIN.
So I can be healthy and happy.
