Hi Molly, I was briefly through your thread before and will read it again to get an idea of where you are at.
It is OK to ask for help and we are here to help support you through this. One thing to remember is, never stand still. Stability is false security.
Understand that while you may be wanting support, keep posting. Use this thread as a daily journal or to drop thoughts and efforts on a regular basis. The activity in your thread will draw the attention of other members and they will provide thoughts and support as they feel appropriate.
So in the mean time, if you feel stuck, do something to inch yourself forward.
As great as it would be if we could all get a DB coach, dbmod's answer to you is (of course) bang on. Do not put yourself at risk. It is one thing to stretch, it's another to endanger ourselves.
Female lions hunt for the pack. Who eats first?
No... it's not the Lion...
No... it's not the kits...
The females eat first. If they do not keep their strength up, the cannot continue to hunt.
You cannot help anyone else until you've made sure you are OK and secure.
BTW: the carets ( the ^^^^^^^ ) are used to indicate "look above" and sometimes used to bump a newbies thread to the front page.
