Re: Hitting the wall
I remember it so vividly. I wanted to quit at 4 but was encouraged not to since I was almost there and my hair was already gone so I did it. I referred to myself as a freak show cuz I didn't recognize myself. I had no self esteem and was so depressed, angry u name it that was me but now that's is done I look back and say well it wasn't all that bad. Not fun but doable. U will get thru this. I found the last 2 easier, maybe it was mind over matter cuz I knew it was the end, not sure. In a few months u will start to recognize yourself again, feel better and live. Hang in there!
