Hi! I’m a girl from the USA and I’m turning 20 today. I’ve experienced a lot of trauma in the past 2 years and just been trying to get through things on my own. I don’t really have people I could call friends and idk the whole situation has made me numb the past few months. I’m trying to be excited because I guess 20 is a big milestone or whatever but I just can’t. Idk

@Theglory. Happy 20th birthday!

I'm so glad you reached out and shared your feelings. It takes immense courage to acknowledge and express your emotions.

Firstly, please know that you're not alone. Your experiences, though challenging, have shaped you into a resilient person. It's completely understandable to feel numb after going through trauma. It's a coping mechanism, but it's essential to address those feelings to begin healing.Not having a strong support system can be tough. That's why I'm here, listening and supporting you without judgment.

Some thoughts to consider:
1. You're strong and capable of overcoming adversity.
2. Your feelings are valid; acknowledge and accept them.
3. Healing is a journey; take small steps toward self-care and growth.
4. You deserve connection and meaningful relationships.

To start, what's one thing you'd like to change or improve in your life?

Welcome to the community Bernard (is it okay to call you Bernard?)

I can only imagine how lonely you might feel when having to hide from others because of your addiction. It is hard to cope with addiction alone and not having anyone to listen who truly understands you. So glad that you reached out and joined 7cups. You don't need to go through this alone, we are here to help and for comfort. You can always connect to a listener for a 1:1 chat here.

You will find a self-help guide for addiction here and here
