I learnt that you cannot run away from your problems and that you cannot lie and run away thinking that you can outrun them. I became very good at running in these past couple of years and I just ran and ran. I discovered that you cannot keep running, you will get caught. I got caught many months ago but I pushed past it and kept on running, and talking my way out.Today I stopped running I faced up to all the problems that I have, it took a huge amount of courage and determination to do so, and if I'm honest I thought that I would bottle it but I didn't. I stopped and said 'I need help'. Three words, so much meaning. It was a big step for me to take, yet take it I did, I was fed up with running, I was fed up with hiding. I reached out and I found people there to guide me. I was fed up with not being me. So I made a decision, one of the hardest I have had to make, and I made the decision to change. Change will not come quickly or easily but I will fight to change, I have won the first battle but the war is still to be won. I will get there and I will not give up. I am a fighter and I will get through this and I will survive and I will come out stronger, after all it is not about how you fall down but how you pick yourself up and how you carry on. Carry on I will and I will suceed. There will be challenges but I will ask for help when I cannot deal with it on my own and I will not be scared of failing. As the only time you fail is when you stop trying and I stopped trying for far too long, not anymore I will try and I will not fail. I am not that person anymore.I won't give up, I will keep trying and I will win the war. For if I don't the only person I will have let down is myself and that is the worst thing I could do.I learnt a lesson today, and it hurt to learn it but learn it I did, and learn from it I will.

 I hope your self esteem has risen as well for this. It is very rare that people really face their issues honestly! Its that very dishonesty with the self that causes so much pain and drama. I commend you for being so honest with yourself! If more people could do that, this would be a much better world. You will also have better relationships as well. Being honest with ourselves is so important. I'm very proud of you.

 Wow, that is a lesson.
It's a lesson for everyone who wants to run away from a problem, that it always catches up with you in the end.
I'm happy for you that you decided to stop running and face your problem head on and ask for help, this is not an easy thing to do, and it's great you had the courage to do it. Whatever it was that you were running from, I hope it gets sorted out, considering your determination, I can see it's going to be sorted out really soon.
Hope everything turns out okay for you.
