How much has your ability to share your difficulties aided or hindered your healing and hindered or helped you get support? Ideally choose one answer from the first 5 and one from the second 4.
Personally am realising more and more the cost of not being able to ask for help or share. Limits my access to professional help. I can do so much on my own and have but there is a limit. Limits my help to peer support. Results in others misunderstanding my motives when it comes to professional situations, friends, family etc. Results in less understanding of the relevant factors with drs and medical issues. Limits my access to certain improvements in resiliency. I no longer believe being how I was and still mostly am is a form of resilience. Mostly it is down to just really big trust issues. I can't trust others to have this much info about me. On a visceral instinctive level rather than a cognitive decided one. :-/
