Recovery from any problem, whether it is emotional or physical, requires help. You did not learn all the skills that you have now by yourself, so how can you expect to overcome a very difficult situation all alone? Everyone needs a helping hand at one time or another and right now is the time when you need a person to lean on, a shoulder to cry on, and an ear to listen. Doctors, therapists, nutritionists, loved ones, and friends are the people that you should turn to for help. Below are some on and off line resources for you and you family to help you conquer this obstacle.
