My world got a lot smaller over time,

and I knew by the time I actually went in

and asked for help,

I think I had been searching for help for a long time,

I just wasn't willing to admit it.

So my world just got a lot smaller.

I quit leaving the house.

Things were stumbling, there were obstacles for me.

I was functional at work but I had no personal life,

I just couldn't handle day to day tasks

of finance or, you know, just the things like grocery shopping,

or coming up with recipes, it was just really challenging

to manage anything outside of work.
