I feel you. Sometimes I just think, in the grand scheme of things, we are all merely side characters in the story of the universe.

I feel like absolute crap. My mental health is really suffering, I am sick and the molars on the left side (top and bottom) are extremely painful causing me constant headaches. I can’t see the dentist coz I am sick and Panadol and nurofen aren’t working. I am in chronic pain with my right foot as I had a cuboid displacement (which corrected itself) BUT it is now unstable so when I walk I can feel it moving causing me pain and one misstep will cause it to displace again. I am in a bad mood more and more often and am really struggling to get out of it. So yeah, fun times.

Im proud of you. You have come so far through a sea of deadly dangers. When you learn to scream in defiance to the storm and come fully into your own power you will fly. Your greatest weakness can be your greatest strength. I believe in you. I am proud of you. I know you will survive the hardships and thrive in this life. Keep going, wild one, you will fly! Love from Upstate NY :)

Okay 100% honestly? AwFuL jesus christ I've had multiple suicide attempts in the past 3 months that nobody knows about, and I didn't tell my therapist about. I'm trying really hard not to relapse self-harm, and it's not easy. School drained me so much, I couldn't deal with it and almost failed four classes (brought my grades up in time, though). I'm so stressed, and I don't know who to tell or what to do. Whatever. I'm gonna get better, whatever it takes.

You can do this. I’m struggling with everything you just said, but if I can do it, so can you! Stay strong!

Ok, I suppose. Getting tired of sitting at home like a prisoner, but I'm finally getting a hang of the boredom and got into new activities.

I'm tired all day. I don't remember what it feels like not being tired. I don't even know if it is tiredness. Whats wrong with me? My class in school is on lock down. Live lessons for me. I miss actually going to school. Most of the time I feel nervous. Especially when I'm not at home. But again school is easier.

honestly? i'm dying and want to die all the time. Nothing goes right for me and my parents isolate me and the only place I can go is to school and go to church, it sucks because I want to go to friends houses and have fun and be a normal teenager (I'm 16) and I've only been to my friends house a handful of times, i can count on one hand how many times

Exhausted. Sad. Stressed. Anxious. Annoyed. im bi and i havent had the courage to tell anyone cuz I dont have the energy to deal with rumors and yeah but anyways i finally worked up the courage to tell one of my friends. And his response was FAR from supportive. He started being a d**k head. Which I shouldve seen coming cuz hes really really immuture. And now i feel like CRAP cuz me was so annoying he was like "omg ur in love with ur best friend ooh lala" And since then I havent had the corage to tell anyone else.

Grieving. It's hard. It hurts. It's a tempest I'm learning to sail in, but it gets friggin hard sometimes. There's a ragged place in my heart and I'm learning to accept it and let it heal. So... I'm sad. I need a hug. I miss my cat. A lot.
Love to y'all

Which is the only hope for me to not be depressed af but hey it’s ok
#23
uh...
i’ve been struggling with depression for about a year now, it’s been bad recently due to COVID-19. but i’ve been making an effort to eat healthy, get exercise and go outside, get more light, etc.
anxiety’s also been a bitch to me. finals season, you know? but we’re almost to winter holiday.
also it’s hard to focus in class and i’m always tired. caffeine makes me sleepy.
yesterday we realized my jaw is misaligned, so some nice train-wreck braces are in my near future.
my therapist is awful and is only worsening my issues.
i feel like i can’t talk to anyone. like i’m just a problem. a mistake.
i want to sleep my life away, i want to die but i don’t have the energy to do anything about it.
oof this turned into wannabe emo poetry.
sorry for ranting, have a great day everyone

I am happy. My son (8 yr old) and I are healthy, and are managing to survive this quarantine with love and togetherness. I know money can not buy happiness but just yesterday, someone who owed me a great deal of money sent me $5,000. So, right now, and for the first time since my boys birth, I have no anxiety about paying bills. This amount has put me ahead, and if I play my cards right, I can stay ahead of the bills for probably the next year. Good things can happen and most of the time, everything always works out, we survive, we manage and we learn. I wish everyone the best.

What do you think ?

Terrible. I’m suicidal, tried to kill myself multiple times. Trying not to self-harm again. Basically been told by the school counsellor than I’m a low-priority and people need help more than I do. Had to wait months just for one stupid appointment with her. Teacher made us watch a video that was triggering, that teacher knows I’m struggling but didn’t think to warn me. Can’t stop thinking about what my ex-friend said. Someone happened with a friend recently, some really triggering things were mentioned and nobody thought to ask if I was okay. My friend who I feel is fake keeps making everything about them, send me something quite detailed and triggering and said ‘it was a accident’. My girlfriend lives far away so I can’t see her. Life sucks :-)

Not good. I have been looking for a therapist but they're all full. I feel guilty about everything I do and I'm super stressed about the future.
