Two of the hardest things I've had to tackle since leaving the hospital is admitting when I have hit my limit and asking for help. Type A, workaholic Elyse doesn't like and rarely does either of those things. Elyse in recovery needs those things. It makes me feel weak an incompetent and sad. I need my body to recover, so obviously, I need help, but I just want to pick up where I left off. Every time I try, however, I end up worse off than before.
Luckily, I have the most amazing family and friends. They call me out when I'm being silly for not asking for help an have stepped up amazingly. From my wonderful husband to my patient advocate to all of my friends, in-laws, parents and amazing siblings, they have NEVER made me feel less than for needing more than I can give at the moment. Words cannot express how grateful I am to all of you.
