IF YOU HAVE WALKED IN FOR HELP YOU ARE EXIHIBITING STRENGTH. OUR STAFF IS PROUD TO HAVE YOU HERE!
I see many positives in your bullet points. You understand what is not healthy and you know you must step out of your comfort zone to become healthy. Knowing that self isolation is not good is HUGE! Knowing what you need to do is an amazing first step so pat yourself on the back for that and keep plugging away!
