You look fine on the outside, but internally you're really struggling.  

You've been trying to hold it all together for a while, so no one else will notice your struggle, but it's getting to be too much. You're barely keeping it together, and you're worried that if one more thing happens it'll be the tipping point. 

You just keep smiling, pretending like you're fine and trying to convince yourself it's true.  You look normal so no one really knows how hard things are for you right now.  You know so many other people who have it worse than you so prioritizing your own emotional well-being might feel selfish since you think that you "I should be grateful, I don't have it that bad". 

​

It's hard for you to admit how much you're struggling and that you need professional help. 

​

You've realized that: 

​

     ✕  You're putting your needs on the back burner and you haven't been feeling like yourself

     ✕  Your self doubt and inner critic's voice seems to be getting louder everyday.

     ✕  Your relationships are suffering and you're not sure what to do to improve them

     ✕  You're just going through the motions so no one notices how hard things are for you.  

Now it's time for you to take care of yourself and you're thinking about finding a therapist in San Jose, California, or Puerto Rico.
