One time, Dr. X told me that if you’re in a crisis but you push through, things get better. Actually I suspect that I’ve had this conversation more than once with more than one person and probably more than once with just Dr. X. But the one conversation stood out and since yesterday was sort of crisis-ey but not a full blown emergency, I decided to try out his suggestion. And lo and behold things are better today. I reached out to supportive people even though I was apprehensive and didn’t really want to and they supported me and made me feel better. I also got a lot of work done for school. So who would have thought it but Dr. X’s advice actually worked. I wish I had listened to him more often.
