  • As @phr@discuss.tchncs.de mentioned friends are generally there for you if you’re going through a crisis. If you can reach out to one or two of your closest friends and just talk to them it can really help. It sounds like you’ve been letting this build up for a while now (even if it is probably not intentional). Just getting it off your chest can be big help too.

    If you don’t feel comfortable talking to anyone you already know irl I understand that too and maybe you can try a helpline or similar though I personally had limited success with those. If you just need something easy you can also feel free to DM me on Lemmy and we can schedule a call or something.

    If you want some slightly more long term advice this is where I’ll put it: If you think you have the capacities to go to college I can only recommend it, generally everyone is a lot more accepting (at least in the natural sciences) and if you get to move away from your current family that can also be a big positive shift in your life, especially if you end up with good roommates. Colleges also make it a lot easier to get into things like therapy which really helped me when I had problems.

    I haven’t proof read this yet but I figured just writing something out would be best. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any, especially if I was unclear.








  • So then you already know. So are you just here for “oh yes drugs ruined my life because I smoked weed at 16”- comments? Haven’t got any.

    Well honestly there are quite a few regarding alcohol.

    I personally doubt that they posted for that reason though. As a teetotaler myself I also felt like I needed reassurance when I found out how many people in college drink so much.

    I think it is very important to have friends that respect and support the decision not to drink, especially at parties and such.
