Hi everyone my name is Megan!

I am 16 years old and i love reading.

I struggle quite badly with self-harm, i am currently 11 days clean which is a big achievement for me! :) I always have really strong urges to relapse but i feel like a disappointment to everyone when it happens.

To stop the urges i usually pet my dog or read a book, reading books seem to help me forget everything that is going on in my life because i get so invested in a fictional characters life.

I never feel heard with anything i share which is why i really struggle to open up.

Thankyou if you take your time to read this❤️

(Also i really need some friends, i'm so lonely)

@emotionalEast2462 Hi Megan! I'm so glad you're here at 7cups. I'm so incredibly proud of you for being clean. That takes a lot of strength and you're one of the strongest! You've managed to find coping mechanisms that work for you and that's amazing! Us listeners are here for you always. Take care!

@emotionalEast2462 Hi, I believe in you! You got this. Sometimes when I'm stressed or tired I like to read too.
