As a 19-year-old woman struggling with addicted to a person disorder, I have felt the overwhelming weight of shame and guilt. It’s hard to put into words the pain and chaos that comes with this disorder. But I want to share with others that there is hope. With the right support and resources, I have been able to take small steps towards finding freedom from this addiction. It’s not easy, and there are definitely setbacks, but I want to encourage anyone else going through this to hold onto hope. You are not alone, and there are people who understand and want to help. Remember to be kind to yourself and take things one day at a time. There is a brighter future ahead.
