What is that you do when you get overwhelmed, and life gets just that little bit too much?

Recently, I would message my sister with who, just a few years ago, I had no contact with over a 10-year period. Crazy thinking about it.

A major issue is that we live about 700 miles apart; me in England and she lives with her husband in Germany.

I would ask her if I can come and visit as I have hit rock bottom, yet early enough for any dark thoughts to creep in. Asking for help used to be quite a challenge.

The wait for the help that I needed

What happened to me? Why did I fall off the wagon and probably became my own worst enemy that had such a detrimental impact on my life.

It has always been important to me to share all facets of my life and not only my talk about the successes I can celebrate.

The past few months have just made it so clear to me, why this is such a vital thing to do.
