Hey Alex!
I understand how you feel because I went through something very, very similar to your story. I’m also 20 years old and from the US. I also often get thoughts of suicide and periods of feeling like a failure but I know I have the power to turn my life into something better for me. I understand it’s hard, I understand you feel stuck and lost with no one there for support but I just want to say is fight through this now because the dawn right before the sun rises is always the darkest. We need to bare through the dark night in order to see the sun rise into a new day. I’m using these experiences to create a better future for myself. As a child, I’ve always wanted the superpower to heal anyone who is feeling pain and sadness because I know what it is like to feel pain and sadness. So I’m turning this superpower I’ve always wanted into a future for myself. I’m in college right now working hard to become a doctor. I’m sure you must have had some goals or dreams as a child? Maybe you can use this as a chance to get away from the stress and pain and create your own path?
Of course the first thing and most important thing is safety and please seek help 🙂
You can do this ❤️
