Hi, I'm Jack.

I thought I should make an account after lurking as a guest to feel less alone with my mental health issues - everyone seems so kind and non-judgmental! I've been going through a difficult depressive episode for the last 8-9 months, and I'm having a hard time with CAMHS as I'm turning 18 soon. But I wanted to connect with people to feel less alone, and if I'm in a better place to do so, I would like to support others here :3

Take care, everyone <3

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸
