Out of my depth of field

I was brought up to tackle problems head on - not to bury my head in the sand - instead power on and face obstacles. This is pretty much how I’ve always lived my life. There were times when I felt that I was faced with more obstacles than I could cope with. I felt so out of my depth, I didn’t know which way to turn. That has always been the time to be kind to myself, I am probably doing better than l realized.
