Counseling is not always in our budgets, or we may not be ready to step into a relationship with a counselor.

So in the meantime, these are my recommendations as a way to support yourself:

Learn; read, educate yourself, create self-awareness 

Connect with other people; create a support network, attend support groups online or in person, 

Adopt healthy lifestyle habits; sleep, exercise 

Reduce stress in your life; create healthy boundaries.
