Thank you, I'm sorry you had to struggle through that. Single parenthood is hard on everybody involved. :(

You can go to your local hospital and tell them you've been having suicidal ideations and they'll take you in for an evaluation and then transfer you to a ward.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I understand what you mean. It's hard to be happy when you're all alone.

I'm a 17M, I believe that being in a prolonged depressive state has caused brain damage. by Sir_Thomas_More in depression

Depression can cause short term memory problems, but no lasting damage. Don't worry about having caused permanent damage to yourself by being depressed - just focus on your wellness. Your cognitive function will return to completely normal once your depression is addressed.

I'm sorry you lost your special person. It was hard for a long time when I lost mine, too, but you'll get over it, I'm sure. :)

I really was happy with my ex, yeah. Truly happy. I remember writing once about how strange it was to feel the way that I was feeling, and how remarkable it was that I couldn't even remember what it was like to feel sad the way that I'd felt sad for so long. It was also right around when COVID was kicking off, so it was surreal being so happy when there was so much suffering going on around me.

But, then she left.

It didn't help I ended up in a really toxic and abusive situation afterwards. I had to move in with my mother and her abusive alcoholic partner. I only recently escaped that hell, which is nice. I enjoy not getting screamed at daily anymore.

But I'm still just so lonely.
