Re: im at breaking point.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way right now @eylah. It’s incredibly hard to carry all of this weight on your shoulders, especially when you feel so alone. I want you to know that you are not to blame for what happened to your best friend. Grief can make us think all kinds of things, but that doesn't make them true. You are not responsible, and your worth is so much more than what these thoughts are telling you. Can I ask what makes you feel that sense of blame? 
I'm aware the staff team checked in with you via DM to share some services that can help you through this really difficult period with your grief. I'll pop them again below:
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, especially with everything you’re going through. Please try to be kind to yourself right now. You’re carrying a lot, and it’s okay to ask for help when you need it, even if it feels like the help isn’t coming as quickly as you need. You deserve support, and I’m so sorry you’ve been let down by those who should be there for you. Could you follow up with the ED team to check in with them? You deserve to hear from them.
I know it’s hard, but try to hold on to the fact that you’re doing your best. You’re still here, still trying, even when it feels like everything is against you. That shows so much strength, even if it doesn’t feel like it. You are not useless or purposeless - your life has meaning, and your pain is real and valid.
It’s okay to miss your mum and feel triggered by the hospital. And it’s okay to take care of yourself by stepping away when things feel too much. Do you feel comfy sharing a bit more around those triggers you're experiencing at the hospital?
You deserve to have people around you who care. I can see you've mentioned that you're safe and aren't experiencing suicidal thoughts. But if things get too much, please remember to reach out to these services below (you don't have to be in crisis to reach out either):
Sending hugs

Re: Explore your emotions through journaling
I feel… scared anxious
Something that helped me before was.... getting on with it facing my fears.
To help me today, I need... to just go to my appt.
