Struggling with Mental Health: Hiding My Symptoms

lately for a few months I've been getting worse and told no one, been lying to my therapist saying I'm fine, been hiding the hallucinating and paranoid thoughts, been feeling like I'm not real and like I'm not a human and I'm in a dream like world every day, been super depressed and anxious, self harming again, i fear a hospital stay is in my future because everything has gone downhill fast and i don't know why

For me personally, lying to therapists never got me anywhere. I know that probably sounds like a rough thing to say, but opening up and admitting to my downfalls has helped me grow stronger. After years of lying, and finally giving in to the truth. Having a support system who can help guide you is so important. Doesn't need to be a therapist, just anyone you're comforable taking that opening up step with. Sometimes it just takes a lot of time and effort to get better, and it gets exhausting. That's where the support comes in handy because it should help you to keep pushing through. Stay strong, there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. ❤️
