I'm not doing well right now, my mental health hasn't been good at all if I'm completely honest and I'm so tired of dealing with everything by myself. I keep trying to tell my parents how much I'm struggling and that sometimes I don't want to live anymore (I'm safe and have no plans, just thoughts) and they won't listen to me, if they do the response is always 'you'll be better tomorrow' and of course I always wake up feeling pretty much the same. I'm so exhausted and things are so painful and it's just hard to cope with at the moment. I keep thinking I'm doing better for a few days but then the wave of sadness comes back and I can't do much but cry and try not to listen to the thoughts because they're not helpful. I just kind of want to move out but of course I'm not old enough and I don't feel prepared for living on my own at all, and thinking about the future makes me feel really upset and scared.

So much is going on CRHT arranged a joint appointment with CMHT to advocate for me. Unfortunately it’s a lot of we probably can’t do x y z CRHT really pushed for me and advocated I finally felt like what I wanted to say came across. I’m hoping something falls through. They acknowledged the medication has caused me neurological problems but I can only see a medic about it Late Jan 2026 🙄. I hope the neurological effects go they are destroying me, I’m so so unlucky to have had this reaction. They have no plan to support me or get me ‘better’ because they want to continue to ‘assess’ me, . CRHT were so helpful at getting my voice heard though. CRHT said that if they believe I have autism they should be accommodating my needs for the traits they have identified. I really hope things improve quickly I’m struggling with my MH so much now

I hear you @Redemption and everything you said makes sense. Volunteering is often talked about as if it’s automatically rewarding, but the truth is that it depends entirely on the environment, the support you get, and whether it actually aligns with who you are.
You were put in a situation you didn’t really want in the first place, and then on top of that, you weren’t given proper training, patience, or appreciation. Feeling dread and feeling undervalued would make anyone struggle, and being judged after only two tries on the till was simply unfair and it’s understandable that it knocked your confidence.
It really says a lot about your kindness that, even after a difficult experience, you’re still open to the idea of helping others. And if you ever choose to do something like that in the future, you could make a real difference just by being you. You deserve to be in places where you feel respected, supported, and valued for who you are. The right opportunity will find you, whether it’s paid or voluntary.
