I sincerely hope I haven’t ruined my relationship with my girlfriend 

yesterday she sent 15 text messages to me over the entire day 

  Reveal hidden contents

and like 3 discord messages 
(but I’m not counting those because it barely felt like she was talking to me and it wasn’t much of a conversation)

I don’t know what to do

I asked another friend for advice which led to me asking her how I can fix things between us, but she hasn’t replied yet since it was only like 4 minutes ago and I’m sure she’d busy.

honestly life kinda sucks right now for more reasons than that 

school sucks,
honestly the only two reasons I can really stand to go are Orchestra and to see my gf

home sucks 
don’t know how I’m makin’ it, but I am

I honestly want someone to talk to but I also really don’t want to bug anyone…
I have like two people I talk to—not counting the gc with people i can talk to since people there are dealing with their own problems—but I can’t really talk to either of them

*hugs*

Hello, my good fellows of the mental health forum. I have come here to rant once more . Spoilered for size, and TW for self-hatred & suicide. also I apologize if this isn’t well written. I’m writing this at like midnight

Spoiler

So… I’m pretty sure I’m depressed. Not in the sense where i feel sad, but i just, like… can’t really find the motivation to do much of anything. Like i can’t be bothered to do my homework or to take care of myself, that kind of thing. And like… i feel bad for not being able to do everything, and i just hate myself now ig. Like i feel kind of pathetic and useless, you know? Like I’m leeching off my family & everyone around me, without returning anything. And like, i kind of want to kms now, because like… wouldn’t that be the easiest option for everyone involved? My family gets rid of one lack-luster teenager, my classmates don’t have to put up with me anymore, and i don’t have to do anything anymore. Nice and simple. But I haven’t really found the courage yet. I’m an absolute coward when it comes to pain.

I understand why you feel bad. And you have every right to feel like that.

But suicide is not the solution. If you choose to end yourself now, all you do is create more pain. If you push through, on the other hand…

Think of all the people whose lives you could touch. All the things you could improve. Yourself included. Think of all the light you could bring into the world.

You matter. Infinitely. Don’t give up on yourself. Because we won’t. I won’t.

For one thing, you're not bugging people by telling them about your struggles. If they're close to you, they'll want to help, and be glad you told them. And even if they're dealing with their own problems, sometimes that's even more beneficial. There's strong research that shows that helping others can significantly lower depression symptoms.

on a side note I find it quite amusing that I’ve found better mental health help from a bunch of nerds (and Eddie) on the internet than from a professional therapist. I mean the therapist was cool and all but all I remember was him telling me not to be mean to my brother, us playing pool, and him showing me his Pokémon cards. 

No offense to your therapist, but that's really not how a therapist is supposed to operate... generally speaking they're A) Supposed to get you to talk about yourself, not talk about themselves and their own hobbies, and B.) Not supposed to tell you what to do/give advice, but instead ask you questions so that you can figure out things about yourself, and then you decide what actions to take. Though also yeah, friends tend to be better for your mental health than a therapist, because they know you better. (And can be more effective at reducing depression symptoms, according to this study) Though therapy can also be really awesome too, if your therapist is good.

I get the feeling, but don't give up on yourself. You've got a lot of life left ahead of you, and you still have no idea what you'll accomplish later on. Back several years ago when I was going through some heavy depression, I never would have thought that later on I'd be helping others with mental struggles, or stopping a close friend from killing himself. Because in the moment, when you'r depressed and everything sucks, you can't see how anything could be different later on. But things do get better, even if that seems impossible. You never know the impact you do have and will have on others, and even right now I can assure you that your family and friends care about you more than you think. Hang in there

 

Side note bout myself (spoilered cuz this post is alr long)

Current career plan is becoming a doctor, but I was looking at potentially doing something mental health related instead, but sigh, all the therapy related jobs pay very little, which sucks

Rant from band class

so two of my best friends we’ll call them um Sarah and Sadie but basically I screwed up and made them upset w me and we haven’t talked in a week and now that spring break is over I’m seeing them a lot bc we have all the same classes and they aren’t talking to me and I’m so scared that if I talk to them it will get worse bc all I do is mess stuff up and like I honestly think it’d be better if they weren’t my friends bc I have messed up so often and so much and i never seem to make them feel any better when they are upset and I care abt them so much that I honestly don’t want them to be my friends for their sake but I also know that if they weren’t I would probably get incredibly depressed 

also for a little bit of context I’m really bad abt thinking abt myself I put my friends and family above all else so in this situation im rly tempted to just like ignore them forver even tho ik it won’t help anyone and yah 

hugs would be appreciated advice as well but honestly I just wanted to write this down somewhere bc sometimes that helps

I would recommend just going up and sincerely apologizing. Be humble and apologize, but also ask what you can do to improve and be willing to listen. If you messed up, take full accountability for that, without trying to justify yourself/make excuses.

*hugz*
i feel you

 I personally think that that’s not the way to go, and knowing people care it’s harder on them to lose you than try to help. Maybe take a bit of time to yourself to figure stuff out?

I say this as a verified nerd, school really does suck sometimes

I can also relate to not having anyone to talk to; I often feel like there is so much inside me that nobody knows about it’s almost like nobody knows me at all. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here

 I’m glad things are better. Also, I’ve never been to a therapist, but that does sound a little odd…

That sounds exactly like depression

the number one most helpful thing you can do for yourself is don't feel guilty for feeling that way, or at least do your best

Depending on the state I think it can be illegal for a therapist to reveal stuff to the parents, though there are exceptions for self harm/suicide I think (in which it might illegal for them not to tell someone I think). Not sure what the specifics are though. Sorry they weren't great
