((((((((( griffin )))))))))) I understand what you just shared. And you are right, if you have a broken leg, no one questions why you need to walk into the ER. But society has a different way of looking at emotional pain. It is a shame that it is like that though because emotional pain is just as "real" as a broken bone.

Honor yourself during this time. Give yourself permission to experience your truth and your pain. That is the only way to process this. You can do it.
