It’s easy to tell yourself you don’t really have a problem when you can still go to work, raise your kids, and keep your mask on. That illusion of control kept me stuck for years. Looking “fine” became the excuse to stay sick. Not everyone has to hit a rock bottom, but i was still destroying myself, my health, i just did it politely and quietly. I know how hard it is stop something when you become a master at always getting away with it.
