• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

lately i've been way depressed.... i can't concentrate on anything, grades, homework, school, the daily monotony of life is really beginning to get to me. i just want to get through stuff... i cut again last night... i just want the world to go away and leave me alone. and at the same time, i want all my friends to be there. but they can't, because they graduated this boarding school last year and are now in college, so i have only one friend left. she's a great friend, but i think i need a bigger support system...
megan and mrs. mallory (she doesn't know i cut, but she knows i'm depressed) have been encouraging me to get counseling, but in order to do that i'd have to talk to mrs. gammon, the vp of our school, and she's kind of intimidating...
i told my first adult recently. (not the first adult to find out, but the first one i told volunatrily, the only adult who knows i still cut) and she was very loving and understanding. she even adopted me!!! (how many adopted mommies is that for me now? 5? 6?) my real mom doesn't pay attention to me whatsoever, so i adopted a couple. it makes me feel loved and at the same time, unloved. because i am the kid who has to make friends with the faculty.

I'm praying for you. I admire your courage that you told someone. This is one of the most important things we can do, get honest and open. If I were you I'd talk to the vp even though she's intimidating because getting some help will be worth way more than avoiding an uncomfortable moment with the vp.

God bless you!
With love,
Hope

I'm praying for you, well done on telling someone, especially voluntarily!
I understand how it is to not really have any friends your own age, I mean, mine all left at the end of last year too. so, if ya ever wanna chat to someone who understands a little, not much as all people's situations are different, then you can always pm me! I'm praying and I know you will get through, cos even though it's ahrd, when you can't walk any longer, God will carry you!

Wow, you're so strong for telling someone. I honestly admire that. I hear ya with all the daily life stuff and everything getting way too BLAH but I just try to remember that God gives me new days, fresh chances to start over. I'll be praying for you and know you're always welcome to PM me!

maybe you could talk to the adult you told, since she already know. is there anything specific that has made you depressed? :hug:
