Re: Escapism
your life, your wellbeing, your sanity, your quality if life and that of everyone around you means that nothing is going overboard if it would help.
I can openly say that I thought I could handle some grief on my own, and struggled for years, always thinking I was in control and always falling back, finding escape in work, in shopping, online..whatever. If I could have done something differently, it would have been to seek counseling then.
