TW: Mentions of Su*c*dal thoughts and dr*g addiction I don't want to be a burden on my family anymore, education is so expensive and my family struggle with survival. I wanted to get a good education so I could support them but it's so hard when I'm depressed and have no energy or motivation to do anything. I've also struggled with an Mdma addiction for over a year and although it's not physically addictive it is psychologically addictive, ik it's not good for me and I've tried to quit 3 times without professional help and my family have no idea at all. I always think that life isn't worth living everyday because I always have something bad going on around me and some of it is out of my control. I've tried to stay positive and I always try to help others but I don't have the strength to ask for help myself as I feel ashamed and guilty for it when there's people out there who'd need it sm more. The only way for me to eliminate the problems surrounding my life rn is to just end my own suffering, ik many ppl would likely call it selfish or use guilt as a way to stay by saying that there's sm to live for but I have been fighting for a long time and have lived a turbulent life, there's no guarantee that things would get better.

      Thank you for sharing this, and thank you for staying alive so long, I know it can't be easy. Your main benefit to your family and the world isn't your ability to make money or do well academically, it's to be you. We want you to succeed because we want you to be well, and it seems that currently education is hurting you more than helping you. We want you around as long as possible, you're a good person to be around, so it's not selfish to make your health and wellbeing the main priority of your life right now. If that means deferring a year. There will always be people that need the help more that aren't getting it, and those that need it less and are, and though it's a tragedy, it's not your problem to fix. Your problem to fix is your wellbeing, and it's going to be upsetting and difficult, but I promise it will be worth it. The world is better with you in it, we love you. Go to a doctor's if you can, bring a friend if you need. Or talk to someone you trust, get all the support you can my friend, good luck.
