Hey @Eden1919, 

I am so sorry that everything is so difficult at the moment

I'll send you an email, please respond to that ❤️

That's really good that you saw your psychologist yesterday @Eden1919, and perhaps you could reframe them contacting the mental health crisis team as something that could be a good thing for you. Try to keep in mind that all involved would just want to help look after you and keep you safe.

None of us here think of you as a 'hopeless cause', and neither will they.

It's always lovely to hear back from you.

Try to be kind to yourself, you deserve it 🧡

well i have been sick all week with the flu and have felt absolutely terrible. my case manager called me and he was absolutely useless he just talked at me the whole time and told me i wasnt special and that everyone feels this way sometimes and then i spoke to the psychiatrists whos plan is to do absolutely nothing and basically just told me i need to lose weight and that that will make me less suicidal so i have given up on seeking help from useless people and if i decided to die on whatever day i will just do it quietly and be done with it i am absolutely done with it all there is no point trying anymore there is no help out there for me which i already kinda knew but this has all just confirmed it. anyway i am safe for tonight i think but as for how long that lasts who knows.

idk what to do anymore i am so exhausted but no matter how much i sleep it is never enough i feel like crying all the time i havent been able to do anything even daily self care has gone out the window let alone my uni work and idk what else to do anymore i have tried everything i can to make things better but nothing is working and all the drs care about is me losing weight i really dont know what to do anymore i dont and none of this is sustainable i cant keep going like this i cant i think i am safe for tonight but idk i just everything is too much and i am not coping.
