I love that quote. Yes, I am a huge nerd and will quote from Dumbledore, but it is a sentiment that I would always in still on my students. This is an idea I have had personally learn in a hard way.
No one knows what another is going through unless the share it. Any person walking down the street could be experiences great pan, great joy, deep sadness. It is rarely on our faces. While I was teaching, I shared that I was taking medications for anxiety. Why not? I worked at a school that had shootings outside over and over again. Who would not have anxiety? Everyone should have been medicated.
I have finally starting to ask for help. Many of these posts will be about my process of admitting what is wrong with me and seeking the best help I can get. I used to be high functioning. Through events I could or could not control, that is no longer true.
I have goals. I want to be there for my nephew as his godfather. I would love to take care of my dog. I want to have a job worth of my abilities. So please do not judge me for my accounts or do. It might help either way.
