I’ve had a lot of ups and downs throughout my schooling and career — not just related to my profession but personally as well. In the past, it has crossed my mind that I should probably seek professional help, but then some way or another, I would get past my issues and life would normalize. Then I would move on and forget about it.
However, after last summer, things were different. In the past when one area of my life needed help, I generally could rely on the other areas to take care of themselves while I fixed things. This time, however, everything felt like it was falling apart — family, work, personal life, etc. Every time I turned around something was going wrong.
Because everything seemed to be failing, and I could feel myself slowly going crazy, I decided to reach out and ask for help.
