About

People have been telling you to "talk to someone" for a while. Even if you knew who to talk to you, you don't know what to say. Everybody seems to have an opinion about you, but nobody asks what you think. That trauma you don't want to talk about keeps you up at night. You're using substances and nobody knows. The littlest things seem to set you off and you end up saying or doing things you wish later you hadn't. Being a teenager is hard. Being a parent is much harder than you thought it would be. Your relationships seem to be on the brink. You feel alone and nobody really knows you. Something's got to change. But how? Your life can be better than that. You have strengths that you don't even realize you have. Imagine not being angry all the time. What would it be like to look forward to your day? That heaviness you feel? It doesn't have to be there. Life doesn't have to be so complicated and confusing. Maybe having someone on your side is a good idea.
