hey dad. I’m getting better every day. I’m getting my life together.

I probably have fibromyalgia and deal with disabling chronic pain. Every day is a struggle to get up. but I’m still doing it, and I’m proud of myself.

I’ve learned how to manage my PTSD! I rarely get paranoid anymore. I still do on bad nights, but now I know how to handle it! I also stopped doing drugs. I’ve been clean for a long time now.

I’m gonna learn how to drive! I’m gonna move out! I’m gonna learn how to work and handle my finances!! I’m gonna finally be myself again!! I might be 17 years old but I’m capable of learning more than you think I am!

I’ve come a long way. I’m proud of myself for pulling through after my suicide attempt.

I wish you could be proud of me, too.
