Support System

I will genuinely say that having a support system through this process makes it 100% more bearable. I thank god daily for the fact that I have a partner who i can be open with and express where i’m struggling; i also genuinely would not be able to do this without my unbelievably supportive mother who stands with me without judgement. I strongly urge anyone to please be open with the people around them, no matter the stigma. I know deep down we don’t want to feel like burdens or that there is something innately wrong with us; but acceptance and actually talking about it does help to make the journey easier. I have been on this journey for over a year now, with genuine slip ups still, and I still have a long way to go, but I know I won’t give up knowing I have someone no matter what happens.
