Hi all! Mental health struggle is something everyone deals with at some point in their lives, however, that doesn't make anyone else problems more (or less) important or critical than yours (or mine). I'm here because I want to be part of a community that supports each other so no one feels like they have to do it alone, thanks

    Hi @Laura_tigger82

    Thanks, tbh right now feel like total crap will find out today if my brothers going to prison or not, but at least I'm reminded why I'm trying my best to not drink alcohol anymore. How about yourself?
