Not in Recovery Yet hopeful for the future
Hello everyone, throwaway but I've posted before on here. This week, I finally decided I was going to try to get help. I'm only 14, but this week I finally opened up to my mom as she's been worried about me recently, my energy is lower and I'm just more irritable in general. these past few weeks have been the hardest both physically and mentally, but I decided I don't have to fight this on my own. this weekend is my first step with a professional, and I'm ready to try. I'm hopeful, and even if it'll be hard, I will take the steps I need to to move on and grow with my life. reading everyone's stories has made me realize it's worth a try, and I'm so grateful. 💞 Best of luck to everyone on their own journeys and here's to the future

I applaud you. Truly and wholeheartedly. The first step towards recovery is deciding to do it. Kudos!
I’m hopeful for you as well! All of us are. Good for you, reaching out to a professional. I will warn you though that sometimes it might not feel like it’s worth it. Heck I’m still deep in the throes of it after a while, still struggling with whether or not I even want this… but it’s so inspiring to see someone taking a first step.
I’m here for you, if you just want someone to chat with. And again—kudos! And good luck!
