What’s Next?
You've done your research. You've tried to "make it work." You've probably even tried to put a smile on your face and to "be strong" but it just doesn't match how you feel inside. Feeling alone and misunderstood hurts. Maybe you grew up being told that there was no place for how you felt, receiving the message to "just get over it" and move on. Maybe something just feels like it's missing even after everything you've accomplished or tried to do. You've done so much hard work yet you feel stuck, confused, unsure of what comes next. Building relationships with others can be tough enough as it is, what more building a relationship with ourselves? Learning how to live life on life's terms can be challenging.
You might be wondering how therapy or counseling can even help.
