um..hi, im ella. im new here and im not really sure how this works. so i suffer from severe depression, anxiety, ocd etc. I've only recently moved to Melbourne, Australia and because of my conditions, i dont want to get too close to anyone because i dont want to hurt them. this is all really hard for me to talk about as i dont usually. but i just wish everything would disappear. all of my responsibilities. i wish i would disappear. gosh i dont wanna sound all sappy and this is only the tip of the iceberg i just feel so alone...

I'm sorry you are suffering so much. Can you talk to your parents and tell them you are depressed and suicidal? If not talk to your guidence counselor at your school and they can help you talk to your parents about getting you some help. There's also a suicide hotline you can all any time. It's 1-800-suicide. And keep talking and reaching out. I am here every day so feel free to message me if you want.

Sorry you are hurting so badly. I agree with Heidiclark who suggested that you talk to your parents and/or your school counselor so they can get you some help. Please don't harm yourself. You are worthy of being alive. Please message me if you want to talk.

I'm Ella too. I feel the exact same today. I was saying something similar just this morning. Message me to talk if you need.

life is so very exhausting, and I don't think I have the strength to do it for that much longer..I see my school counsellor every week, my parents know and I see a psychiatrist/ psychologist 3 times a week usually..(more info in my bio), but nothing helps. I don't know what to do?

How is it that you think you would hurt someone if you got too close to them?
