As you all know, I’m an advocate of looking after your mental health, especially when it comes to managing one’s own self-esteem, and levels of stress. These things are generally okay if you’ve learned your life lessons already, or if you’ve got enough confidence and positive experience to draw upon to get you through.
Not everybody’s been able to get to the stage of getting help, though, whether that help is formal or informal. A very important first step in healing yourself is not just admitting to yourself that you need a little bit of assistance, but also reaching out to somebody for support. When you’re deep in the clutches of anxiety/depression, though, it becomes so very easy to avoid talking about your issues: you feel unworthy, you feel your issues are unimportant, you feel that to raise your issues with someone else is to waste their time.
