"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"thank you, you too!!"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"I have been feeling just really down"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻♂️"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
