my name is ryan. im 20 years old and i want to be a writer. i struggle with suicidal thoughts throughout everyday and also have a history of cutting and abuse of alcohol. i suffer from dysthymic depression and some social anxiety issues. was hoping to maybe find some people who 'get it' (as much as i wish no one else had to be able to 'get it,' if that makes sense). the person i've been using as my crutch (although i feel like we've had a mutually destructive relationship) has let me know that she can't be the person i turn to anymore, so i thought it would be best to find a community of people going through similar things. i used see a therapist and take meds but stopped. i guess thats all for now. cheers.
Welcome to SF Ryan. Yes, a great many of certainly do understand what you mean when you say others who get it while not wishing anybody else truly did. Read posts and answer if you like, make threads relevant to you if it is helpful, and check out our creative section for sharing writing if that appeals to you. I hope you can find some support here. Take Care Ben
