Struggling with Depression and Self-Harm

I know it sounds cliche, but there’s no such thing as a “scheduled” crisis. If you are in pain right now and are struggling w ideations of harming yourself, the right time to get help isn’t in May, but now! There are always going to be reasons not to get help.. trips, friends, a weekend event, school. Eventually you may get to a breaking point and it’s better to go before that happens. I know it’s hard but the first step (admitting you want help) is done.. the next step is getting help. I suggest talking to a professional about how you’ve been feeling and having them assess what treatment options may be right for you. Sending you love and care.

totally feel you with the A honors thing. I'm so depressed and trying to come out of it but I pretend like everything is fine so i don't let anyone down. I have a full ride. it's not like I can just stop now. I have to keep going. it's like I'll die if I don't. which doesn't sound half bad. I totally understand you. I hope that you feel better

I am so sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Your feelings are completely valid. I’ve also been there, and it’s a tough road to navigate. Finding coping mechanisms that work for you whether they be journaling or some other method is very important. You are always more than welcome to reach out to me. Sometimes it’s nice to know that there are people who are in similar situations.

I'm sorry that you are going through this. Please do Not stop taking your meds until you talk to your doctor. I would suggest talking with your dr and let them know what's going on. Sometimes you just have to take care of you. If you feel that you need inpatient, then you probably do. They can't fire you for it and as far as letting people down, sometimes things are out of our control and you gotta do what you gotta do. I pray that you get better. Good luck.
