Having a support system, a circle of people who will be honest with you, and supportive in your time of need is key to getting back to your true self.
I challenge whoever is reading this, man or woman, to tackle what is bothering you.

Recognize your support system and build on it; do not push people away. Know that God is with you every step of the way. Prayer works.
