Face Your Feelings

Accept how you feel, forgive yourself for any mistakes you’ve made, and begin thinking about how you can solve the problems. It’s OK to feel upset about your situation, but it’s not OK to avoid solving the problem because of how you feel.

Try to put aside your concerns about being judged. The people who truly care about you want you to get help and resolve your situation. They aren’t interested in attacking you or judging you, they want to help you.
