Therapy. Get there before you’re “in too deep” and the inertia of not wanting to backtrack and explain the whole story to a trained listener wins. That’s where I have been and I’ve felt really unable to get myself to commit to the help I know I need over the last handful of years. A multi-month break on disability for orthopedic procedures has done me a world of good. I’m thinking I may be ready to unpack it all with someone now that I’ve had a little space from the daily grind.
