I was lost. There was nobody for me to talk to about what I was going through.😔
So I sat alone, with everything inside, and cried myself to sleep for a week straight when I was 20 because of the problems and stress that was building up.😓
I joke around now that my pillow has seen more tears during that time than my mother has seen as a kid.
During that time I didn't tell anyone what I was going through from personal and financial problems which resulted in health issues at that time.
Looking back at it now- I should have given up but I didn't and even though those were some of the worst years but it was a big learning curve.
One thing I could have done better was reaching out to somebody and it would have made the pain at that time easier to deal with.
