So today I felt a little vulnerable as I have decided to join a real life SA support group in my area. It is a very huge step as before I think I would barely had the courage or strength to try and attempt to go to something like a support group. So with my anxiety mounting as I called the people and being told I'd have to wait a few more days I talked with my boyfriend about it. I want him to be as much apart of my healing as he feels comfortable with.
One of the things I antagonize myself over is that I don't want to over burden the support that I have in my life and so if he felt uncomfortable or skeptical about me joining a support group, I wouldn't have joined. But to my surprise he took it in stride, saying he understood why I'd want to join and that he thinks it might be good for me. I feel so lucky to have been blessed with someone who cares so much. And in a way I feel so guilty that he has to be so brave and understanding with me because of what I been through.
