      the fact you’re still being able to shower and brush your teeth is so amazing! i’m proud of you and all of the goals you’ve reached big or small. i’m here if you need ❤️

      First, I’m sending you so much love and light right now while you are feeling this way. Something that really helped pull me out of some of my darkest areas were finding the small things I was so thankful for. Even waking up was the first one I started with and it freaking killed me then because I still felt like absolute garbage. Eventually, my mind got in the habit of find more and more “bright spots” in the day but I do have more bad than good days still. It’s a journey but have patience and compassion with yourself. This community is standing with you and as stated above; you are never alone 🙏🙏🙏

      feeling this right now too. making it through a day is hard and being a student on top of that is harder. what’s been helping me recently is distracting myself with things I like doing, and spending a lot of time around friends (even if you’re just doing nothing).

      When I feel like that I try to make small goals. Like ‘at the end of this hour I’ll go take a few deep breaths outside” or even set goals for the next day ? Five minutes from now ? Just keep looking forward to something even if it’s small ❤️

      Just try to remember that you’re not alone and you have people who love you.

        @Hennessy I just cried in my dorms bathroom for an hour and a half because my roommate was having a party in our room and no one even cared to check up or see of I was okay. Then she got mad because I asked for my room back. My parents won't answer the phone and no one will talk to me
