I’m falling so far down. It’s been a week today that I’ve cut every day. I’ve never done a full week straight before, I usually leave a few days because of the sting.
I can’t do anything my peers can do anymore. How can I write university essays when I hardly leave my bed? I can hardly eat. I can hardly be.
There will be consequences. I know there will be. I deserve them for not getting better soon enough. I’m so scared of them, though.
I’m losing the people I love. I don’t have the energy to contact them, and none of them are coming for me.
My academic life is withering. I’ll be kicked out soon, I’m sure. I won’t be able to function if that happens. I hardly function now.
It got so bad so fast. One good year last year, and now I’m at my worst ever. I’ve had bad before, I attempted a few years back. I’d say I’ve been depressed since I was as young as eight.
Why is it so bad now? What can I do?
Help!

No one deserves this, depression or any of it. Any more than people deserve heart disease, or cancer. The only hope for sanity is remembering that. You couldn’t make yourself get better any faster, because no one would choose to spend more time like this.
Now, you need a plan of attack, strategies to deal with the real challenges in your life. Given where you are, you need time and understanding. I don’t know about your university, but mine had an office for accomodation, a place to go when you are struggling for health reasons, whatever they are. The people in that office could talk to your professors, or your dean, whomever they needed to to advocate for you.
and by the way, dropping for the semester and living is the better option. The date shouldn’t have passed yet, where you can drop without it showing up on your GPA. I did that five times, and if I knew then what I know now about university maybe it could have been less.
I’m sorry you are in so much pain. As much as I wish there was an easy answer, there isn’t one. I hope you get the help you need. Heartless seems to have a good plan. I hope you find the strength you need.
Please Dear One do not lose hope, I can feel it is incredibly difficult, but please know that there is Always hope. I send you sooo much Love!
