Hey yall,
Its me, I am back and depressed as ever. This episode has been lasting probably around 2 1/2 weeks now going on 3. I am to the point of giving up. I wanna quit my job and I want to drop out of school, quite possibly just move away completely? Running away is something I am really good at despite the fact that I hate running. I know I can't do those things, but I wish I could. I am tired, exhausted even. No one understands, therapy isn't working I have to find a new one, but it is so expensive. My dad does not get it why do I need therapy and Psych??? I wish this would all just kind of go away. I want peace and balance. Except im fighting a loosing war.
I am six years clean of SH so yay to that.
Any words of advice?

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
School is challenging when you are juggling mental health too. I wonder if there mental health are resources on campus? Sometimes family doesn’t understand why psych help is needed because it may seem scary or uncomfortable or misunderstood by them. Other people get it - it’s all about connecting to the right support. Hugs.
Instead, try to go over piece by piece what could be better. So perhaps there could be a job change and an apartment or place away from home in the future. You can work to improve things without dropping everything.
Men tend to be more simple, we work on happy or angry, rather than gradations like many women. But try to explain things to your dad, he's probably just frustrated. If you do find a good therapist, and they are in great demand now, then if at all possible, he should pay for it.
