.... I dunno. I forgot to take my meds this morning so now I feel crazy depressed and my meds are the only rhing that is keeping sane throughout all this. I am trying to take this (my parents divorce) the way that people think I should but I really can't. I can't find a brightside and all I can think of is the bad scenarios. I feel myself falling back down into the depression I was in a while ago. That almost ended bad and had many bad thoughts. I dont wanna go back to that point because it scares me. This patronizing wait till my mom gets a full time job so me and my dad move out is killing me inside. I only get one counseling session a week because it's covered by tri care and that's all they allow. And I just wanna scream.

*HUGS*

Does anyone have any advice or something? The way I work right now is I get on my phone until it's late at night and I just pass out and I need to stop that but it's my only way to cope.

*BIG HUG*

I'm sorry. That's hard. 

I will offer one piece of un-asked-for advice. Take it or leave it - if it's not helpful, ignore it for sure. What I really want to do is just give you a hug and sit with you for a while, but being online makes that hard. So.

My advice would be - it's ok to not find a bright side to the divorce. It's ok to not see a bright side.
That part's bad. It's a breaking. Yep. It's gonna hurt, a ton. You don't need to try to make it good or justified somehow. It's ok to let it just be bad.
But to try to fight the depression, remember to take notice of unrelated things - "bright" sides to other things; school things, friend things, random sunshine things. Make a point of noticing that good things still happen in other places; that the hurt and change doesn't destroy everything, because it will certainly feel like it does. Focus when you can on small bright things that you can do, or that your friends can do. Things unrelated to that, so that when everything feels awful and broken, you can look to something else for comfort.

And we're always here - with lots and lots of hugs.

*hugs* May I suggest actually, genuinely screaming? Into a pillow, or outside when there's no one around...You deserve a scream or two

I used to go down into the basement for screaming. 

I also practiced "screaming" without voice, so it strains the vocal chords but doesn't actually make the noise, because a lot of the time my sensory overload would get worse if I actually made a loud noise though.

Try pillow? Or perhaps whispering things outloud? I understand that the saying things outloud can sometimes make you start crying (or at least that's what happens for me), but crying is a cleaner sadness than bad thoughts. *hugs. more hugs*

Usually I’m watching a movie with the family, then I get on once the movie’s over. Also I have no free time during the day.
