I've tried reaching out to IRL friends.
I've begged my mother to let me get help. Literally sobbed right in front of . Her and told her I was scared that I might kill myself. All she did was tell me how expensive hospitals were and how the last two times have been so inconvenient for my father.
She had my primary car provider prescribe not only an antidepressant but also an anxiety medication. They're not helping. I feel jittery. Like I'm not able to make rational decisions. I tried to tell her but she won't listen. My next doctor appointment isn't until three months. I'm not sure how holding out that long is going to work.
I am not okay. I feel like I'm going crazy. I keep myself busy but distractions only work for so long. I know a LOT of people here have dealt with similar situations. So, please. If you don't like me/don't know me but you have advice that might help, please please please share. I'm desperate. Moments of clarity like this are rare but the truth is I don't want to die. I want to go to college and do so many big things but I can rarely convince myself that I can see that as a possibility.
I'm asking for alternatives to self-harming. (I've been burning myself a LOT recently.)
Coping methods. Like I said, distractions only work for so long but they're vrtter than nothing.
And ways to make my parents understand that this isn't going away. That I have to fight myself to get out of bed, that I procrastinate things like eating, showering, using the bathroom, ect. simply because I can't motivate myself to do it.
I just want to be okay again.
I just want to know how. -
you can go to the hospital, check yourself in, and then you have to stay there
that is a last resort action and if you're feeling that absolutely low, it is necessary -

Find an Anchor, a Root. Whatever you want to call it. Remind yourself there are things you can do to distract yourself. Read. Draw. Listen to loud music. Remind yourself if you die today, what could've happened tomorrow?

I have no way to get there. I could go to a teacher and tell them what's going on but.. Idk my dad hardly males enough to support us and I don't want to financially burden my family anymore that I already have

This is the easiest way for me, and I think it might help you, but try listening to some music about anything, anything that is happy to you. Or, if you prefer, addicting video games.

@Wolflove When your family is low on money, hospital visits aren't an option. Especially if you have no way to get to a hospital in the first place (lack of car, distance from hospital to your house). Trust me. My one day hospital visit for something not suicidal related was $7,000. Made me feel like s--- for a night. She doesn't have money nor a way to get there, so she'll definitely need alternatives not requiring a hospital.

Thanks.
ahhhhh thank you for the advice. I try to commit myself to things like plays/other s--- so that people are depending on me but it sort of stresses me out too? I can never decide if it's helping or making it worse -
i get that, then, apologies

Plus our insurance refuses to cover Baker Acts. It screwed us over..
-
Thank you for responding tho. I wish it were an option.
-
And remind yourself everyday of the effect it will have on the people around you and close to you if you continue to harm yourself, or if you kill yourself.
-
new insurance aint that easy either tho

I'm sixteen. I'm on my parent's insurance until I'm at least eighteen.
