Well,this is my first time doing this. Sorry this is gonna be pretty much a mess since I'm bad with my words. Please bear with me though. Honestly I need to let out my feelings. Truthfully speaking I'm afraid to be thought as a fake sounding all cliche. But then again,I feel that I suffer from depression and anxiety. Though I don't fully believe that I have these mental illnesses because of the fact that I've never got it checked out. I have not gone to a doctor or therapy of some kind checking if I have these illnesses. Though I have searched up all kind of signs to look for. And looking at all of the symptoms and signs...I became worried if I really did have them. Yes I have had suicidal thoughts and suicidal attempts which I've never went through with because I was afraid. Yes I have harmed myself many times... And Yes I have tried stopping myself from doing all these. But the thing is I couldn't. I wish to stop what I do by getting help from friends or family. But I'm scared. I'm really scared. I'm afraid that it might make things worse than it already is. I'm afraid to drag other people in my problems. I also tried telling close friends but I couldn't. I want to solve this without dragging anyone in. So how can I do it? What should I do?

First of all, pray. Just, pray to God. Pour all of your thoughts and feelings on it.
And also, try not to be scared. If you like to not telling your family and friends about this problem, you can contact someone else. Even strangers who is able to help you by the knowledge that they have in psychology. Someone who is willing to listen and talk in the right time.
Hope it helps. God bless you.
ReplyThank you..I'll do that.
ReplyHi my friend,
I understand. It is so scary to tell your friends and family what you really feel inside. For years, I let my own thoughts manifest because I was afraid of no longer being the "strong" one. But, I think it is important to seek help, to get professional help from a doctor. I know that that's the step no one wants to take and is afraid of, but they will help you. I'm sure your family will be understanding and supportive. Just take the first step to seeing a doctor, and see that they can do for you. From my experience, regular exercise, taking deep, slow breaths at times where it gets too much, listening to music or an activity you enjoy, can help decrease the chances of it getting too bad. There is no cure, only preventions. But with the right help, you will feel so much better. I know it is hard, but I believe you can do it! I am so happy you had the strength to stop yourself, and to continue to do so. You are brave, beautiful and amazing. Do not let your fear take that away from you. I wish you the best. All my love! x
