Things have gotten so bad I had to call my mom to come stay with me for a few days. I’ve lost 10lb in a week from not eating & I don’t go to my classes. I feel lazy. My grades are bad. I was SA’d 2yr ago today but Ik I need to get it tgt. Pls any advice?

be kind to yourself. trauma is real and so are trauma anniversaries, mental health struggles aren’t something to be ashamed of and asking for help isn’t something bad or wrong. email your professors and tell them the truth, lean on friends, talk to family, get a therapist, take care of yourself. give yourself a treat. you survived today and that’s the most important thing🫶

I know it feels like nobody could even begin to understand; but I understand. Think about the comfy bed/couch you are in and keep loved ones nearby. Having your mom sit with you (even in silence) will help. Don’t think ab your grades—life is sm more than school. Eat your fav foods(calories don’t count). Binge watch your fav show. focus on being comfortable in the moment and after a couple days getting up will be easier. Ask yourself “what can I do NOW that will make me happy?”
