I asked for help today, multiple times, unabashedly. This is huge for me. I felt dizzy, I called my neighbor over. I wanted to spend time with out of town in laws, so I asked for a ride. I got sad on the way home, so I asked my DH's friends to come keep me company tonight. We had great conversations and they helped me get some clarity on stuff. The friends are cat people so my cats were out socializing, even the shyest ones. My Katigan who was absolutely daddy's girl couldn't take her eyes off of Matt. Matt is very similar to my DH. She was enamored with him, which made my heart swell.
I have realized that I know so little about you, PB. I know nothing about your history. For instance I had no idea that your father lost his mother to an accident at a young age. The facts of your life are all unknown to me. Yet I know a small amount about your character. And I know that you do not ask for help easily. I am so glad that you were able to do so. And I hope that over time it becomes easier for you to do, because over time support wanes and you may need to reach out for it more. Your friends and family will not love you less, but they may forget that you need something. You should know that they they will be happy to have have you ask for it!
Big hugs,
Deb
