During that time, besides having therapy and multiple medications being pumped into my body. While recovering I spent a lot of time with myself. Listening to myself express my painful emotions and my deepest fears, I began to lose the fear of my own and my vulnerability. In fact, vulnerability came to me at a critical time and seemed to be a mind saver, or better still a life safer. When we allow vulnerability in ourselves, it gives us a chance to connect intimately with ourselves. I used to think that vulnerability was a weakness. However, I have learned that vulnerability is transparent and unknown and played a crucial part in getting to know myself by taking on responsibility as to how to respond to situations that arise in my life and towards others.
