Over The Edge

No matter what the past was like, there comes a time in every woman's (and I imagine men's) life when the circumstances get the better of her. We fight it and pretend it's not there but then, all of a sudden, triggered by the stupidest, most unexpected thing, your world comes crashing down on you and you lose it. You are suddenly flooded with thoughts you wouldn't normally have and feel guilty for even entertaining those ideas. In the blink of an eye, you give up and decide to take the chicken way out.

A little while goes by (maybe days....maybe hours) and you think to yourself, "Wait a minute, what the f**k was that???" Then things don't seem as grim as they did before and you get confused all over again. You realize you have just had a breakdown and you didn't see it coming. I used to think differently but, there is no shame in asking for help. It doesn't make you weak nor does it make you crazy. Realizing you need help, and asking for it, is the hardest step.
