Hi @thegreatwar,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you’re feeling—it takes courage to do that, especially when you’re feeling this overwhelmed. First, I want to acknowledge how strong you are for booking a counseling session. Taking that step shows just how much you’re trying, even when it feels like everything is too much. It sounds like you’re carrying a lot right now. Feeling so sad and thinking about suicide, even without plans, is exhausting and can make everything seem harder. The fact that you’re aware of these feelings and considering ways to get help is really important.
I know waiting can feel unbearable. During this time, it might help to focus on small steps to manage your emotions day by day. Would it feel okay to try something like journaling your thoughts, listening to calming music, or even going for a short walk? These small actions can help create moments of relief, even if they don’t solve everything right now.
It’s completely normal to feel scared about sharing how you’re feeling, especially with someone as close as your mom. What if you started with something simple, like saying, “Mom, I’ve been feeling really sad lately, and I think I might need some help”? You don’t have to share everything all at once—just enough to let her know you need support. You could even show her this post or write down what you want to say beforehand.
It’s really brave of you to admit that you’re having thoughts of suicide, even if you don’t plan to act on them. Those thoughts can feel scary, and it’s okay to share them with someone you trust. If they ever get too intense, you can call a hotline or text a crisis service for immediate support. Just having someone listen can make a big difference.
You mentioned knowing that people love you. That’s such a powerful truth, even when it feels distant. Sometimes reminding yourself of the little moments—like a friend who made you laugh or a kind word from someone you care about—can help bring that love closer to the surface.
It’s okay to not have all the answers right now. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough. Focus on just the next step—whether it’s talking to your mom, making it through today, or simply allowing yourself to rest. You’re not alone in this, and there are people who care about you and want to help. Keep holding on, and know that reaching out here was already a step in the right direction. You’re worth the support and care that’s coming your way. Take care.
Understandable as u r in sec 1 n studying subjects u dont like n being told that u have to score well for them. U might want to look up at poly courses n see what industry may be more towards ur liking. U can also try learning to code via Freecodecamp, graphic design via Baseline or any online resources on linkedin learning that is free via nlb. U have to find something u like to have meaning in ur life like its something to live for. Can also be like making songs, social services and other recreational activities besides career stuff. Unfortunately, theres nothing we can do w the education system so u have to find a poly course that u like n make it your goal to get a l1r4 that allows u to enter the course. Finding a goal, passion n reasons to live for makes life more bearable. U can consult ai to see what u may like based on ur existing likes. For depression wise, go for cardio, sleep ur full sleep, eat nutritiously and hang out w frens
can i ask for hotlines will they like “report you” in a way? sometimes i think abt calling but scared they will like track me down and send police to send me to imh
@thegreatwar Would you be able to call up Care Corner to move your session earlier? Perhaps if you share your current circumstances, they’d be able to make some arrangements for you.
