I’m 19 yrs old, I was first diagnosed with depression when I was 12 and have been in and out of therapy up until I was about 16-17 yrs old. I never had s* thoughts up until the end of my first college semester in december.

I know college took a huge toll on my mental health, I struggled to make any friends, got sa’d, struggled academically, hated my roommate situation, and just overall was just struggling.

I haven’t had any friends or lasting friendships for roughly 2 years, and I didn’t know how badly that affected me until I went into college.

I feel like i’m struggling really bad with emotional neglect and loneliness, I know the thoughts got really bad back in march and little more recent, not that I want to actually do any harm to myself, but I just couldn’t think of a reason for me to be here anymore.

I feel like I’ve messed up my mental state so badly over the years and even worse since december, the s* thoughts and just hopeless feelings comes in waves, like i feel fine for a week or two, and randomly the thoughts just hit me.

I mostly get sad over me just not having any friends or someone I can consider my close person, it aches me so badly. I wonder what I did wrong, why do I not have the teenage girl experience that most girls do, why am I depressed, why is my anxiety so bad, why do I have to be on medication to be considered normal, why doesn’t anyone want me to be their person, why do I feel so unseen.

I know I need help, I just have no idea how to go about it and I’m scared to bring it up to anyone, because why should my issues fall onto someone who didn’t ask for it?

Any advice?
