im so tired. im tired of always being afraid. ive kind of been planning something, i know i should ask for help, but i can't risk getting sent to the psych ward. our deductible is 4000$ dollars (yay usa health cate) and my family can't swing that right now. i don't know what to do. i might just do it. im planning on saying goodbye to my friends tommorow and Monday if i can't figure out how to get help. this is kinda just a vent srry

I know how you feel. Ever since I was a child, I’ve had this weird panic in my blood that’s always there, but turns hot out of nowhere to the point I believe I won’t survive another second. I’m tired of the fear, too. I know how you feel, and if I made it trust me, you will make it too.

It makes me so sad that so many posts like this come from LGBTQ+ minors. I’ve seen your posts and I love your humor, your art, your vulnerability. We need so much more people like you in this world, so much more of your love for others. Don’t leave your friends behind. If you feel safe, cry on one of their shoulders, let a friend hold and comfort you. And please spare some of that compassion you have for yourself. Treat yourself like you would a friend who was in your position— be gentle and forgiving.

For people like you, the world opens up more as an adult. Hang on til then, see if you like it. We’re always here when you need an encouraging word or someone to listen to you. ❤️❤️
