Finding myself...

Hi.. I’m new to this whole thing. I am 17, I have had a lot of issues I never knew how to address or get help with... it’s really hard for me to open up to others.. I’m hoping this will help me. I find myself neglecting my self needs, isolating myself from others, feeling negative emotions, avoiding my issues, and telling myself mean things about myself. I don’t want to feel the way I do, and I’m willing to recognize and address with myself the issues i’m having trouble with, I want to help myself... I’m tired of how things are in my head. This journey will be hard but I’m hoping knowing I’m not alone, will help me remember I’m not just a unfixable person, and people do understand me.. I’m very appreciative of the opportunity this program gives me <3

Hey there lovely,

It is good that you are self aware as that is key in order to recognise and to learn how to tackle your problems. I've only just recently joined as well, and what I can tell you is that this site is so so helpful. The people on here are so supportive it is incredible to see that people can be kind to one another.

I am always here if you would like to vent.

take care lovely! <3
