It’s Alright to Feel Vulnerable

We can’t always be strong like we’d like to. There are times when we must succumb to being Vulnerable and admit it.

When I speak of Vulnerable, I’m talking about:

Easily hurt or harmed physically, mentally, or emotionally. To feel naked, exposed, or sensitive.

To admit Vulnerability for some people means that they are Weak and that is not a characteristic they want to confess too. However, if we don’t admit it then we can never get the help that we need.

I am Vulnerable

A few years back, you may remember me speaking of my vulnerability. I was weak. I was depressed. I needed help.

I got the help I so desperately needed and although it may not have been the same route you would have taken, it was my route to take.

Fast forward and once again I am feeling it.

I’m not ashamed to ask for Help

I am dealing with emotional stress and this time is not caused by my family.

I am not happy with my current work situation. It is taking a toll on my health, however I am not financially able to make a change at this point.

I asked for help.

No matter where we find help, it is a good thing to admit we need it and seek it out.

My help comes in the form now of Zoloft. I’m not ashamed to admit this because it will help me in the long run. For now, as I’m currently in Week 1 of using it, my brain feels jumbled as it adjusts to rebalance itself.

Feeling anxiety about going to work, is not a great thing. It makes it extremely difficult to get up and out of bed and go on with our work day. No matter how much we know we should get out of bed, the brain is telling us to stay in our “safe place”. This is the mind taking over the body.

I cannot do it on my Own

Within a few weeks, I should be back to a norm of being able to manage getting up and out of bed and headed to work. I should be able to cope with whatever anxiety I feel towards it, as well as the stress from actually being there. Whatever it takes to get me through, is what I am going to do.

Hormones can have an Effect on our Mind

If you are a peri-menopausal or menopausal woman, you know the rash of crazy feelings your mind can put you through.

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Mood Swings
• Irritability
• Despair
• Random outbursts of crying

Combine this with another bad situation and you can destroy yourself.

Admitting it is the First Step

Getting help is the Second. Don’t be afraid to admit you are weak and need help. It takes a stronger person to admit it, than to deny.

Seek the help you need.

Over to you

When was the last time you felt Vulnerable?
