Struggling

Drawing of Lauren Spear holding herself and crying, a dark spiraling cloud above her head

If you chose this page as your current Mood... I'm so sorry.

I don't know what you're going through, but I hope things improve for you soon.

I'm not sure if anything I have to say will be helpful or relevant to your particular situation but I hope you can find something here - either in the Struggling section or on LittleZotz.com in general - that will help you get through this low point.

In this Mood category, I share my own struggles (and eventual triumphs) with mental health, body image, abuse recovery, grief, puberty, and more.

I hope it helps you.
