My 30’s were spent loathing every next step that had to be taken. I had slowly transformed into a person that couldn’t feel anything but the weight of the world. That weight was with me, always. It was slowing me down, stealing my joy, disturbing my rest. It was killing me slowly. The burden of carrying this weight had become my life. I couldn’t muster the energy for anything else.
I started with the better minds group in July 2021. It started with counseling and then progressed to NeurOptimal sessions. I was open to, but very apprehensive about the process. I started to feel the effects after the first session. They were subtle at first. However after six months, I feel like a new person. I feel so connected now. I can feel love, and bliss, and warmth again. I can see I am loved by others again. Most importantly, I can feel pain and hurt, and disappointment, and deal with them again. I can use those bad feelings for growth.
I am sad that I waited to get help. I thought I was strong enough to get through on my own. What I failed to see is that I wasn’t strong enough to ask for help. I see that I wasted a lot of years that could have been more constructive. No longer! Those years are there to remind me life is too short to be unhappy.
If you are lacking resilience, or feel like every new thing that pops up is a burden, you are ready for help. The Better Minds Group has given me the chance to live again. Don’t wait to get help. You have nothing to gain from suffering.
