I know “ radical acceptance” is key to recovery in mental health and substance use but I’m only 24 - I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ADHD and other learning disabilities ( since childhood) PTSD, am exploring if I’m on the autism spectrum, I may have bi polar disorder, I take so many meds and now I’m dealing with SUD, it all feels like so many crosses to bare and just not fair .

There is a Russian proverb: The same boiling water that hardens the egg; softens the potato. It means we react to trauma differently and we need different things at time. Ask yourself everyday: have I been kind to myself? It may be hard but; kindness to yourself.

Sorry to hear about your struggles.. I wish that it gets better for you! May you find some peace & relief!
Feels like I'm on that same boat. I find meditation a great tool for tranquility.
Peace be with you 
When was the last time you got outside? Took a walk? Did something physical? Got some sun? It helps me tremendously.
