mental health support chat?

Some of my friends have some anxiety and depression so they can understand a bit.

that must be nice haha. (well not nice but at least a bit comforting I would assume)

yeah, it can be. Other times it's a scramble to get people out of a dark hole while trapped in one yourself, but I'm very grateful for them

I hadn't even thought of something like that! sorry

I know what that's like…

hey, don't be sorry! At least I have someone to talk to
And sorry, @actual.fandom.trash

It's fine! Honestly, they understand how I feel in that darkness

yeah

reactionary?

Rural… Violently conservative?

Oh, yeah. Everyone’s a psycho here

question: do any of y'all's schools do anything in the way of mental health education? mine does not.

Nope. They might briefly mention it but nothing ever happens

that's the sucky part, because so many teens are suffering with bad mental health but no one prioritizes it!!!

Yeah, mental illness literally is treated like it doesn’t exist here. That it only happens to other people, and that there’s no such thing as anxiety and depression because god can fix everything ! That and people literally say that it can’t exist in teens. It’s fucking ridiculous

No joke! Everyone I know could've used support especially during our pbl week which was super heckin stressful causing panic attacks for a lootttt of people and everything

I just wish we would get something because I have mental health issues, and it would be nice not to feel so alone about it, you know?

And I'm so sick of adults saying that teenagers have no reason to be mentally ill. Like, there isn't normally a reason. It's not controllable or anything and adults saying that their problems aren't real causes more problems

TEENAGERS HAVE SO MANY REASONS TO BE MENTALLY EXHAUSTED -
UGh thats terrible! mental illness can happen to anyone

Exactly! It's just frustrating that schools cause sooo much stress and then parents and teachers are surprised when the kids aren't okay

That’s great Jynnie!
But yeah my school has no awareness ugh

Nope.

Aaaaaaaaand guess who's mental illness has gotten so bad that her parents want to pull her out of school, even though I've only missed 4 days this semester, apparently being a little tardy (like under 5 minutes late) almost every day means I 'can't handle' going to school…..

oof hopefully things work out for you

I have to go to a brain doctor tommorow becuase my illness has gotten worse.

At least you're getting some professional help!

My parents left it alone for over two months, so no, I don't belive this is becuase they want to help. I'm pretty sure this is becuase my grades are suffering.

Oh dang, that sucks then…

oh god, sorry to both Jynnie and Ho Ho Homicide

Hey I might need some help later tonight. Ive been fighting my demons but it seems that they're winning now
