Change

[Mushy2021]

There has been so much change in my life within this past year. I recently graduated high school and turned 18, I also recently got out of a treatment center for being suicidal and now live in my own apartment with my brother. I’m doing a lot better mentally and I’ve gained a lot of skills. The main thing that’s been a struggle for this past year is COVID especially with my age, people meet their friends in school and sports but I haven’t been in school since December and I isolated myself. Loneliness is the hardest thing right now but I’m glad that I have a support system and even apps like this to just write whatever I want to get off my chest. This is my first post!

Hi Mushy!

I am sort of in the same boat you are. You’ll meet a lot of great people here and you will have tons of support here. I recently got on this app/site about a month ago. It’s exciting that you graduated- congrats! It’s also exciting you moved out with your brother. I’m so happy that you’re here and you’re doing better mentally. Message me anytime

First of all welcome! Remembering back to when I was 18 it can be a delicate age and made even more difficult for you because of the current situation. I think most of us are built to share our time and space with others, it's how we learn, grow and love. I'm glad you have your brother but you also sound like a brave and compassionate person and I truly wish you the best as you move forward 💛
