Thanks Ginger,

i had a meeting with a therapist last week and didn't realize how much I had been holding back. I brock down 4 times and I am not that type.

It was nice to release some of the stress that had been building up.

@ronc531 We often try to be so strong for others, and ourselves. Understanding that we don't need to "be strong" all the time is a hard concept, isn't it? For me, the inside stuff kept building up, fortunately not to the exploding point [but close].

I do a lot of writing out my thoughts from inside, or drawing them out. Perhaps that might be a path to take? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/journaling-the-write-stuff-for-you/ can offer you some ideas. I have also seen a marvelous psychologist who specializes in PTSD from a veteran's standpoint and chronic health patient standpoint.

Good for you, taking that brave step to reach out!
Ginger
