Hey Martie,
Thanks for the input. You're right and I believe everyone suffers from it in some degree in certain points of their lives. It's a constant battle and it's important to introspect and understand yourself so that you can better equip for that fight.
When I was younger I didn't have much support and was without an outlet for these types of conversations. With the prevalence of the internet and sites such as these, where I can connect to people like you has helped tremendously.
Thanks for the follow. I'm also new and I'll follow back :)
