I have an appointment to get looked at by a psychiatrist but it’s about a month out. I’m going through a really bad depressive episode and I’m not sure what to do. I’m ruining my relationships and I cannot control my emotions. Any advice?

If you are comfortable and up for it, try talking to someone you trust about how you’re feeling. If people are aware of what’s going on, they are more likely to be empathetic and understanding if you are struggling to maintain the relationship. It probably feels impossible right now, but try to take care of your physical well being and distract yourself for as long as you can. If you feel dangerous, there are a lot of hotlines available to support you. Please try to stay safe 🫶
