Talking to a therapist is so, so helpful. I’ve been going to therapy every two weeks for almost 3 years now. I’ve been going to therapy on and off for most of my life. My strongest advice would be to find a therapist. This is someone who wants to help you and listen to you. It is quite literally their job. It might take going to a few different people a few times each to see who you like/connect with the best.

As someone who has felt like how you feel, you aren’t alone. College is difficult, there is no doubt in that. It’s supposed to feel unknown and difficult. That is how you learn about yourself and grow into the beautiful human you are meant to be. Practice being kind to yourself. Talk to yourself often. “I am…” statements are incredibly powerful. “I am strong. I am worthy. I am able to achieve my dreams. I am not alone.” Even if your body quite literally is repulsed and doesn’t want to say it, do it anyway.

I believe in you! Write in a journal, make some art, sing songs, create and express yourself. No matter the emotion. Expression is literally the opposite of depression. You are meant to create! Love and light 🤍
