Do you feel that you are surviving but you are not living life due to the pain that you have experienced? Often times we run away from the pain; we incorporate countless of ways to avoid it including through symptoms of anxiety, anxiety attacks, depression, substance, post-traumatic stress, adjustment disorders, anger, or any other means that will help us to not lean toward the pain.

You laughed at each other's jokes, you noticed how much you had in common, and you thought, "this is my person!" While it's wonderful when things are going smoothly, the reality is that the initial shininess eventually fades and challenges are inevitable in every relationship. Including that "perfect couple" you keep comparing yourself to, everyone will encounter disagreements and misunderstandings. Life is imperfect and messy, and we are all doing our best to manage.
