Hey everyone who may be reading this. I'm just a typical teen who has had some trauma and a few problems in my life and that's why I came to this community. Basically In order for me to cope with being abused by my father for many years, I turned to drugs. At the time it allowed me to escape all the bad memorys for at least a few hours. But after a while the drugs made my depression and anxiety worse. I would have wild mood swings causing me to hurt the people I loved most. Once I realised I had a problem, I checked into rehab. This was a 3 month program and by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Today I'm 4 months sober and have never looked and (mostly) felt better!
