Last night I reached rock bottom and my friend ended up talking me about of doing something completely stupid, I was awake till 2am thinking about it. I didn’t do anything I stayed safe

Now today I just can’t face the thought of college nor will I tomorrow tbh, then Wednesday I’ll have to go in for my exam 😕
Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    Hey @River

    Thank you for being open about this and I'm sorry you had a rough night. I'm so glad you reached out to your friend and managed to stay safe, that takes a lot of strength.

    I can really understand why the thought of college feels overwhelming right now, especially after reaching such a low point.

    When Wednesday comes, just do what you can. Your well-being always comes first, and I'm wishing you the best of luck 😊

    Please take care of yourself. <3

    Hey @River this sounds like a really restless and tough night. You did really well to reach out to your friend and to open up to them about how you was feeling. Thank you for also confirming you were able to keep yourself self. How are you feeling today River? Are you still feeling safe?

    We have also DMed you to talk about this a little further if that would feel comfortable. You matter so much and deserve support.

    I also hear you're feeling like you can't face college and you also have an upcoming exam. It sounds like there's a lot on your mind right now River. What kind of support do you have at college? Are you able to get some support for the exam I wonder?

    Hey @Katie just feeling really low today but I’ve reached out to my counsellor about it so we are going to chat. Yeah I am safe, I don’t have any active suicidal thoughts

    Normally Emma and Janis who might try see them both after my exam tomorrow if I make it in but at the moment I don’t have much hope of being able to manage to go in 😕

    Forgot to tag 🥸
