If You Need Help, Here’s What You Do

TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY

Forget the judgment.

Forget doing it yourself.

Forget the money.

Forget school, your job, your debt, your mortgage, your rent, your bills.

Forget all of it.

If you’re struggling with addiction or mental health, none of those things matter until you are stable.

If you have kids—make arrangements.

If you have a job—tell them you need time.

If you’re scared of losing something—just know this:

You’ve already lost enough.

You’re no good to any obligation if you’re crumbling underneath it.

The first step to saving your life is letting go of the life that’s killing you.

Start searching for a mental health clinic. Right now. Wherever you are. However far you have to go. Get there.

Trust me. I’ve been there.

I was scared too. I had an apartment I loved. I was working. I had credit cards and bills. I was worried about my dog. I didn’t want to admit anything to my friends or family.

But I had one thing going for me: my dad.

He helped me get honest.

And with his help—I checked into a clinic.

Here’s what happened next:

• My credit tanked to a number I didn’t know was possible.

• I got evicted.

• Everything went to collections.

• Debt collectors hunted me down for years.

• I lost relationships.

• Some people talked shit.

And you know what?

It was worth it.

Because here’s what else happened:

• I started working again.

• I became a better employee.

• I rebuilt my credit from the 400s to the 800s.

• My dad co-signed for my first apartment post-recovery.

• Seven years later—I bought a house.

• I found a relationship I felt good enough to be in.

• I got married.

• I’m now expecting my first child.

• I own my own business.

• And I’m free.

This is what you’re giving yourself when you take that first step.

Yes—it will be messy.

Yes—it will cost you.

Yes—it might hurt.

But that pain? That fear? That fallout?

It pales in comparison to the freedom you’ll find on the other side.

You don’t have to do it alone.

You can’t do it alone.

GO GET HELP. There are people out there who have dedicated their lives to helping people just like you. They’ll care, they won’t judge.

Break the silence.

Bet everything on yourself.

Because you can win.

You will win.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear…”

So burn the old life down if you have to.

Foreclosure, eviction, heartbreak—none of it compares to what you’re about to build.

I’m here if you need help.

Let’s go.
