It will be hard and it will suck, a lot, before it gets any better. And you can not do it alone. Keep talking, is my advice. I dont care if you talk to friends, stranger or professionals. Be open. This will help you look inside.
And it's why it's gonna suck Lots of pain and cause for anger you will find You'll manage.
You can do it. You allready took a few leaps.
And remember: there is no shame in taking a few steps back when leaping forward
What kind of professional will you go to and when? (I'm not curious XD)
