idk i just wanted to share but i can finally get to therapy im 16 have been up and down ALOT over the past 16 weeks low self esteem somewhat suicidal toughts like 5 times of thinking how the rest just kinda being finding peace in the tought of nothing
but i can finally get therapy!
firstly it was 8 month wait time but they still called os to atleast get an indicator of the situation etc and they managed to make it to a month ish
so hopping that will do something since im sick of this rn
I hope everything works out for you but just a heads up, you might not click with the first therapist you find. A lot of people switch, don't stay with the first person just because you feel you have to.

Yeah I hope so too and so true, don’t get discouraged if you don’t fit with the first therapist just keep going no matter what. The fact that you are going to one is a great move for yourself

Just remember, sometimes older people have been through a lot more and might have good insights!

Hey good luck to you. I also suffer from mental illness (depression, addiction issues). It's an up and down. But from here to there, moments show up that show that life is worth it. I hope you will see the same.
What are you suffering from? You dont have to answer if not comfortable. All the best!

I'm really happy to hear this.
If I had any advice to give it would be to be honest with your therapist. I know that this sounds obvious but people spend a lot of money on therapy but get no results because they don't come clean when a therapist asks uncomfortable questions. They are either too embarrassed to answer truthfully or they don't fully trust their therapist. Don't be that guy/gal.
Thanks for sharing the good news!
