Okay, so I decided to hand pick a counselor that I best felt could help me with my day to day woes as well as gaining some insight into what from my years growing up in an alcoholic household has keep its hold on my thoughts and actions.
I can say that I'm glad I made that step, and in week 6 of my counseling I am truly grateful for finally seeking help. I really wish I would have thought of this sooner, but I think I had to reach that point where I knew I couldn't self help my way to happiness.
To date we have been just getting things out, my history, how I feel day to day, how my relationships are, etc. I have done a good job of writing a summary of notable events and memories from as far as I can remember, which he's grateful for and I felt necessary since telling the story at this point would take hours upon hours.
But I'm officially two weeks out of a 9 month struggle of a relationship, and feeling good about the days ahead and growing from the inside out. For me, so I can finally be happy in my skin.

I'm glad you're feeling better about things and I hope you continue to!
How've you been, anyway?
