- Loss of an extremely important person who was my age and id know since we were 3yo at the very end of high school - Failed most exams due to grief - Art college - Went off the rails (drinks, drugs, putting myself in dangerous situations etc) - High stress job for 8 years - Unresolved trauma and stress turned into mental health issues which I was to stubborn to get help for for years - Finally got the help and they're funding has been cut. - 34 now, zero self esteem, very lost, dont have much purpose or direction in life and all due to my own decisions. Don't be me! This sub helps me feel like I CAN do it. The support (even involuntarily) really gives me a kick up the ass or a slap in the face to make me realise how hard I am on myself. So thank you all 💓
