Stop Saying You're Fine | The Everygirl

Oh lord that quote really brought tears to my eyes. I have just spent the weekend in and out of crying because I have so much going on re job and family, and now I have a pile of debt to sort out too. Somehow it’s just got too much again – September 2011 I got myself taken to hospital so I wouldn’t kill myself. I survived then but I know I haven’t really addressed the problems and they are still there. So I’m on Step 1 and saying to myself, you have to admit you are NOT FINE. Last night I said something to my O.H. but only a little. I know I need to open up more, and with more people, but let’s take it one step at a time.

For instance, with the state of the economy, so many people may be in denial things are greater than they are or accepting the status quo as no news is good news. However, Mel debunks that by saying the first step to unblocking yourself is downright admitting the truth: "Face it, you are not fine." It reminds me of the old adage of the first step of moving forward is admitting you have a problem.
