My story(Possible trigger warning)
So about 3 months ago I came out to my mom as bi and told her about my girlfriend. Boy was that stupid of me. She now insults me, like calling me a disgrace and many other things like that, so it's been an interesting summer. A little over a month ago I started cutting myself. I still do it once and a while. This past week I have felt like I hit rock bottom. I now have suicidal thoughts most days, I also have started cutting myself again. I have depression and really bad anxiety so that's doesn't help me at all. I haven't been really eating anything unless my mom forces me too. U couldn't find a specific category to put this in.
@LydiaTheTheatreKid It sounds like you're in a really bad situation at the moment. In many places there are helplines you can call to talk to someone about suicidal thoughts and all the other stuff that's been going on. You can probably find out what's available to you locally by searching the Internet.
You can also talk to listeners here about most of these things, but we are not allowed to discuss suicide. If you'd like to chat to me, just click on my profile picture and send me a message.

Hi Lydia
I am proud of you for writing here and reaching out for support. I know it is not always easy. I am also really sorry that you are going through all that. It does sound very difficult and distressing. I would encourage you to lean on your support system: your girlfriend of course, perhaps a good friend or a family member that you trust. Your doctor could help with depression and anxiety, as well as therapy. Journaling could also be helpful in dealing with and releasing strong emotions.
You mention having suicidal thoughts. I am very sad that you feel this way. I know how painful this thought is. Please have a look at this page if you are considering suicide: https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026238093-Crisis. I want to emphasize that crisis hotlines do help. If you find yourself in immediate danger or with increasing suicidal thoughts, please reach out for help.
You are not alone and we are here for you.
