I realized my coping mechanism became my problem. I feel proud and scared at the same time — like I’m growing up late. Thanks for being a safe place to be honest.

I didn’t think dependency could happen to me until it did. I had a craving today that hit out of nowhere. My brain tried to convince me ‘just this once’ like a bad salesman. Thanks for being a safe pl...

Dreams are back and they’re acting like Netflix originals. I feel proud and scared at the same time — like I’m growing up late. I drank water like it was medicine and honestly… it kind of is. Any tips...
