Struggling with Depression and Self-Harm

Heidi23

So I don't really know what to do. Lately I've been inwardly depressed. I walk around and talk to everyone and laugh and seem happy but my thoughts are intrusive and I feel like poop most of the time. Part of me feels I should go to a inpatient but I can't. i filled my schedule so I would have no downtime to be sad. I also feel like if I went I'd let everyone down. Since I'm busy all or March and April I probably wouldn't be able to go to the hospital till may. I've also thought about stopping taking my meds but I know my moods swing hardcore when I'm off them and I don't want to let anyone down. Part of me wants to start self harming again but I'm going to Florida at the end of March and I can't let people down. Everyone thinks I'm doing well. I mean I'm a A honor student and I'm in all these activities, shouldn't I be happy? :(

      I’m not a doctor but I’ve tried many times to stop meds cold turkey & every time I worse than I remembered. If the meds aren’t working well you should see if your psych can try something different. Take care of yourself ❤️

      If you don’t feel happy don’t force it. You are not a burden and your feelings are valid. I was in the same boat and spiraled hard. I tried to take my life, I’m here if you need someone to vent too.

      There are a lot of self-care apps that can help. I am a person who is good at caring for others and not so good at caring for myself. I recently found an app that I am actually finding helpful. It is called Finch and you take care of a penguin by doing tasks that are taking care of yourself. But seriously there are tons of different ones. You can find one or two that you like and just use them when you can. The more you like them the more you want to use them the more you take care of yourself and it actually can be fun. Hope that helps you
