I'm a highschooler, in 2 months my seniour year ends.
I have been struggeling with severe depression an PTSD lately, because of sexual
and domestic abuse. I wanted to go far away from home and restart life in a new country where nobody knows me before.
This is still my plan, but first I need to pass this school year, I have to graduate or it will be almost impossible to access into country. I'd like to work and study in order to graduate but I'm feeling sooo discouraged and down right now, my thoughts circle around the subject how i can keep me alive. I've been ditching school, missing out on school projects, presentations...
I'm feeling really lonely right now and I was hoping maybe some encouragement and kind words from somebody would maybe
make me feel less dead.
Thx
You are still so young and you have a whole lot ahead of you. You even have a goal in mind and that's everything right now. I'm 31 and I don't know what I want to do anymore. I tried a bunch of stuff in my 20s and failed at it all, and now I'm left trying to figure out my purpose again. I felt for a long time like I had no reason to live. But I'm still looking forward now and searching for that thing that makes me want to get up in the morning and do it every day.
Please just try to keep focused on your goal; graduate and start your life with the world opened up to you. You're halfway there just by knowing what the outcome of your goal is, so now all it takes is the effort to make it your reality. You can do this. I truly believe you can.
