I've been there – twice. In those situations I was totally stuck and could not see a way out. But there was a way out, and I kind of knew it at the time, it just seemed so hard and shameful and only able to address the center part of the problem, not the millions of symptoms around it, that I dismissed it. But when it all came crashing down around me, I was forced to go that path anyway. Not having the cloud of panic and anxiety of "when will it all come out" above my head was incredibly freeing, like the first day of sunshine after winter only a thousand times stronger, and then that hard path became ... doable. Pushing through that every day was less exhausting and difficult than pushing through the fear of discovery before.

And now, yes, there are still consequences. I have lost opportunities in my life that I will never get back, and there are parts of my past I don't like to talk about with friends and acquaintances. But in my everyday life now, those months and years of fear, shame, despair and anxiety are like a particularly awkward moment in school: when I remember it I cringe, but most of the time, I don't think about it. I've moved on.

I hope you can get there, too. There is a life After, and it is worth sticking around for.
