“The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make you unlovable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn’t make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren’t always easy to be around and that’s okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren’t all of who you are and they certainly don’t discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness”.
I read something the other day that I wanted to share. Something someone considering therapy may find useful to know, perhaps. If you are currently struggling with something……anything, you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can be a great source of support when you feel like you don’t want to or can’t speak to those close to you.
Asking for help is never a sign of weakness. Too often we hear people express that they feel weak for asking for some support, weak for asking for some kindness, weak for expressing they need something, that they feel something, that they cannot cope alone anymore.
Whatever is happening for you, however you feel, where ever you are in your life, you don’t have to cope alone. Help is available.

A lovely simple post Katy, with a great quote and a clear message. We are all human, we all make mistakes, we all struggle at times and we can all change. Therapy can help us examine our humanness and come to terms with our imperfect selves.
