Getting
through each
day has become
a struggle
The days fly by in a blur. Meanwhile, you’re just going through the motions, numb and disconnected from the world around you.
When you think about the future, it feels so uncertain and terrifying. You don’t know how to move forward.
Your emotions get the better of you, and you don’t know how to control or make sense of them.
You feel broken and lost all the time.
It’s just too scary to face the reality of what you’ve been through.
So, you bury your past and try your best to ignore it.
The pain of
your past still
haunts you
It is hurting
your
relationships
You find it near impossible to trust anyone.
Even when things are going well, you’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
And you’re so scared of losing this person that you build emotional walls to distance yourself in preparation for their inevitable departure.
Telling yourself that if you do everything right, maybe you won’t be let down this time.
But it’s a losing battle that leaves you feeling defeated and exhausted.
And the fear of failure is so overwhelming that you’re paralyzed, unable to move forward or take risks.
You struggle with
life’s imperfections
It doesn’t have
to be this way
You don’t need to struggle like this forever.
It’s time to stop settling for mediocrity and start reaching for your full potential.
Let me help you break free from this painful cycle so you can thrive again.

Hi Itzel,
Since I find it difficult to turn the real me on in front of anyone I thought it might be best to video when I’m angry driving in my car by myself because that’s when I tend to let her be herself. So here’s a snippet of how I’m feeling today about my boss:
I also want to say how grateful I am that you and I were partnered…you’re the first person who’s seen through my bullshit and called me on it and makes me feel like there might be a way to fix it. Everybody else just tells me I’m so high functioning that I’m doing great. And I’m not. It’s so lonely to feel this and have everyone wanting to buy into the facade because they don’t want to deal with this any more than I do. Thank you. I really mean THANK YOU.
