I am so unhappy and depressed cause I have a lot bothering me and I can’t afford a therapist. I almost drank liquid soap last week twice, sometimes I want to cry to let out all the emotions that I have been piling up but it just doesn’t come out. I’m literally dying mentally and I’m scared I’ll end up I a psych ward. Please help me.

Hello friend.
Firstly, let me applaud the courage and strength it took you to write this because emotional distress can be like a never ending roller-coaster but with the right support system around you; it is possible to heal and become happy again.
It may seem hard at first, but seeing a therapist that specializes in emotional and mental wellbeing is a great step to handling this situation. They will help you learn ways to cope and improve on your mental health. Talking to close family and friend will also help you feel less alone.
Ensure you to care of yourself and prioritize selfcare. Don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it and be afraid to talk to someone about your feel.
