I’ve been on a downward spiral this week.
I have been consumed by thoughts of suicide and feelings of hopelessness and guilt; literally every waking moment.
I feel like such a failure.
I feel helpless.
Today I felt unsafe.
I reached out to my therapist for support.
I am always hesitant to do so because I worry that I am truly bothering her.
In my heart though I know that’s just my anxiety talking smack to me.
I see her on a weekly basis and she will often remind me that if ever I need to reach out to her at anytime in between our sessions that she will always be here for me in whatever capacity she can; and oh ya, she also reminds me that I am most definitely not a bother either.
Having a professional who is always in your corner, who believes in you and who offers you a safe, judgment-free space to talk through or help you cope with whatever life challenges you may be experiencing is truly a blessing.
*If you are in crisis or in need of immediate support and do not have access to care right away please reach out to a helpline or go to your nearest emergency room.*
