Hey there.

I'll tell you what I've found, personally. Sometimes I thought my friends weren't helping because they didn't care, or because they didn't want to. But in reality, it was because they didn't know I needed help. So I got the best support when I was upfront about the fact that I was struggling.

Maybe the same thing would work for you? I know at times we're probably all tempted to do some grand gesture, whether creative, destructive, or otherwise, just to let people know we need help, but at the end of the day, the best way to get help is to just ask for it.

Is there anyone else you can talk to about this? Like a trusted adult, counsellor, somebody like that?

Take care, and good luck.
