I like to journal, it really helps. It made me realize that I don’t want to die, I just want to change my life (aka wanting my current life to “die”)

Maybe try doing research on books that might help? Thats usually my go to cause usually people who overcame really hard problems write books about it. I have overcome some really difficult problems going about it that way. If you do, try to pick an author you trust and relate to. If you want, you can reach out! I still struggle with the same thing sometimes

This might be unpopular, but as someone who’s been there, if it’s really that bad, telling the truth to a professional and accepting treatment might be what’s best. There’s no shame in needing to go inpatient for mental health any more than for physical health.

there’s actually a community on here. mental health. or ask someone like hey i really need to talk to someone. suicide hotline. other hotlines. journal. ask your doctor for help finding a therapist. i’m really trying to remember what i had to do when the exact thing happened to me when i was younger.
