Hey so ive wanted to make this post for awhile, but ive kinda been scared to, i really dont know why i just have.

major TW for alot of stuff

So a year ago I asked to get therapy, I was one hundred percent sure i would never get it because no ones ever taken my problems seriously (except for my best friend i love her sm) including my parents. This has been a huge problem for me because a year ago i really really needed something stable. As the year went on it just got worse. I have a ton of trauma from stuff that happened and i dont know how long it will take to be able to go places i used to go without getting panic attacks. That year I was really trying to figure out who i was, i craved those labels, even the bad ones. I just didnt know what I was doing and i felt so alone and lost. It got really bad when i started school and the first week of school someone put me in a really bad position. The year ended on a good note, but that didnt make up for all the damage it left me with.

During that year I got so used to being "sick" that it became who I was. and when i wasnt upset or so depressed i couldnt get out of bed, or so starved i couldnt stand up without almost fainting, i didnt know who i was. I still dont. That year I was friends with someone who always made me feel like it was a competition. Who was more sick. Who deserved help. I was to sick and insecure to even realize they were a sinking ship taking me down with them. 

I hate to say it but I dont even know if i want to get better because being sick reminds me of last year. and even though it was super traumatic for me I still dont wanna leave it behind.

I know that sounds bad so i hate myself for saying that.

Fast forward to this year, Im finally getting therapy. I really hope that i can get better. kind of. Mostly im just really scared. The therapist kept talking about hospitalization and i dont think i can do that to my family and to myself.

Anyway i guess i just needed to vent for a second. Thanks for reading <3

you’re doing so good and im so proud of you for getting help:) i totally get what you’re going through cos that was me last year too. there was someone who was also as depressed as me and we both were trying to float but obviously were drowning each other at the same time.

it is hard to move on and i don’t blame you for those feelings. i’m glad you are getting help though:) it is a process but it gets better:) so proud of you

❤️
