From people who came through it
“A note for the next person. I was where you are a year and a half ago. Back then it was vaping and lying. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.”
starcloud2000 · been through parenting a struggling teen“This time last year I was exactly where you are. The worst part was a friend group I do not trust. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.”
spring_seed95 · been through parenting a struggling teen“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I had to ask for help and it nearly killed me, but it was the right thing. Go slowly.”
Maiz · been through parenting a struggling teen“to whoever needs this: i was where you are in august. a friend group i do not trust. last weekend i went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. it comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.”
