finding a therapist is important when our problems have gotten away from our management.

this may be ideal for you, someone to discuss your issues with and help organize your life (for the time being) and help you also by having kowledge of the resourses available to you for now, and in the future, as you make goals.

i found (yes i've had my own horrible heartache and loss in my early 20's) that having a IRL support system helped me slowly get grounded, find solutions, and work towards regaining control of my life (in spite of what the circumstances around me dictated) ... and it worked. I just had to be willing to listen and try things in a new and improved way.

the biggest surprise is, that when things get together with the aide of professional help, i became the person i always was deep down inside me. like a flower, i bloomed. there still were hard roads ahead, but nothing compared to where i first started from. everything has been better - because i was willing to learn, and anything to find "relief" from the pain - was my main motivator.

peace and comfort,
