I started counseling today and it was a struggle for me to want to go to s complete stanger and tell them all my personal information.  I did make up quite a few excuses of why I should not go.....but it came down to one reason why I did.....Tracy, myself.  I realized that I make up excuses all the time in my head in order to mainly help everyone else but in the meantime, I am screaming on the inside for myself to wake up and start doing more for myself or Tracy will fall apart.  I went to the appointment and had a mouthful to say and fell as though I lifted a little weight off of my chest.  I will go again.
