Life has been a wild ride lately. I’ve been struggling with a lot of mental health issues, compounded by the fact that drugs have also been thrown into the mix. It’s like fighting a double battle, and it’s been hard to find people who can understand both sides of the issue.
This past year I decided that something had to change for me. After coming back from rock-bottom, I started therapy and was able to start talking about what I was going through. Looking back now, it was such a relief to be able to talk with someone who could actually understand my struggles without passing judgement.
At the same time, getting help for my drug addiction issue seemed harder than ever before-- at times it felt like there just weren’t enough resources or support systems out there. That said, I’m proud of how far I’ve come even after facing so much adversity head on. Whether reaching out to friends and family or hiring professional help, anything I can do is worth doing if it gets me closer to my goal of sobriety and mental wellness.
No matter what happens next in this journey of mine, I know that staying focused and staying strong is my best course of action right now. Just one day at time!
