...See more Hey there im really hoping someone can help me as im so fed up of this road im stuck on. I know I HAVE the power to change but it’s like I cant or subconsciously just don’t want to and it’s like i want to destroy my life and lose everything. But I know deep down i dont and that i want to change. I just don’t know how to this time. I’ve quit before but this time it is sooooo hard. I know I can change my ways so why am I not? It’s like I’m not trying and I’ve spent so long resenting myself now that I think I genuinely believe I’m just worthless. please help me find the right tools to guide me back to the light and out of this darkness. I’ve watched so much on YouTube and nothing is sinking in.

Help needed for long term effect of rape
Trauma Support / by emotionalOcean1985

...See more It’s been nearly 9 years since I was raped and I am really noticing the mental health impact it’s having on me as I have still not really moved on from this or let go of it. It is still eating away at me and I wondered if anyone has any advice or can help me with coping with this trauma. The rape is the root cause to my drug addiction too so until I can move on from it then I feel I will keep falling back into this cycle of relapse.

Help needed for quitting cocaine and gambling

...See more hi, I’m just reaching out to see if anyone is here who can help keep me strong and motivated to quit my addictions. I have been on and off cocaine for years but it’s really spiralled again recently and when I do it I also end up gambling online to and blowing all my money. I swear to myself that I never want to do it again. I get to a week and then I fail and I can’t keep doing this. I do not really know what my main root cause is either. I hate this life I’m struggling on with at the moment and I know im so much happier without drugs in my life so why am I finding it so hard to quit. Does anyone else feel the same? I don’t want to talk to my family or friends as I don’t want be a disappointment anymore than I already have been for them. I don’t want to cause them worry, stress or upset. So I’m really hoping there is someone here that can help me with m journey to recovery and if anyone else needs support too then we could help each other.
