I know a lot of people who feel better and then quit their medication or don’t start it. Sometimes it’s not medication, but meditation, seeking therapy or simply confiding in a friend. Suddenly, when we are well, we stop doing the things that made us that way.

We think we don’t need it anymore.

It feels good to not be dependent on anyone or anything.

It feels like we’re “normal” like ordinary people who can live without worry, fear or needing anything.

We might feel permanently cured.

But there is nothing shameful in needing to take care of yourself. It’s not only okay to ask for help when you need it, it’s a sign of courage, maturity and growth.

The strongest of us are the ones who know when they need help and seek it.

This week, you’ll learn why you’re fearful of seeking help, why you really hurt yourself and the real reason why you haven’t found the right person yet.
