I struggle to show when I need a hug or need some support, this is probably due to a shitty childhood with awful parents. I am very independent and rarely need or ask for help but I am now at the point that I almost sacrifice my well being instead of asking for some support. I feel weak if I show any struggles or vulnerability. I'm currently peri and started on HRT which I hope will help but I'm more worried that I've unintentionally pushed my husband away, we rarely show affection and his attempts to hug me almost make me cringe. Help me!
