<![CDATA[My story - from crisis to connection]]>I joined Speek three months ago when I found out my 14-year-old daughter was self-harming. I was completely overwhelmed and didn't know where to turn. I wish I'd had a space like this back then.

I'm not "through it" yet—I don't think that's really how it works—but I'm learning. I'm learning how to talk with her without making things worse. I'm learning it's okay that I don't have all the answers. And I'm learning that I need support too.

If you're new here, just know: you're not alone. And you don't have to have it all figured out.

The "learning how to talk without making things worse" part—that's exactly where I am. It feels like walking on eggshells every day.

I'm so new to all of this and it helps to hear from someone who's been where I am now.
