Question

Me again 💔

I’m starting to think I’m a therapist friend and I’m worried it would effect my health
I don’t know what to do or anything..

I feel like I am struggling mentally
But I never got any help from anyone profession. I’m not diagnosed on anything either
And I feel like I have selective mutism (literally I feel like it’s acting up rn)
But I don’t know if I need to get diagnosed for it. Or am I just the kinda of person to just go quiet like this?

I never felt like this bad right now, I barely talked since my bf didn’t reply to me. I am upset for different reasons and maybe it all made me quiet like this..? Or maybe it’s nothing, it’s just me..
Like I can talk, my throat is perfectly fine. I just don’t want to, I don’t feel like it, I feel like shutting myself away

I don’t think I can get diagnosed on anything. My parents are Asian (I am too) and don’t really like having a kid thats not ‘normal’ (bad wording, I know, I’m sorry, I don’t have better words). They did say it infront of me, quite literally. I’m not saying they don’t support people that need help but, I’m just worried. And I don’t know they would believe me or anything. I only know my dad suspect he’s dyslexic but he never got diagnosed on anything ever (as I know at least)

Any experience, definition, advice, etc would be great

Well there is always online help, talk to people like you are doing now, find people who work in mental health on discord servers, there is always people who can help you, just try and focus on yourself and breathe a little, you are doing good, you're strong, just remember the most important person in your life is you

It's totally normal to feel that way. It's exhausting being the 'therapist friend' when you're not doing great yourself. Withdrawing like that can be a reaction to stress, and what you're describing could be selective mutism or anxiety it's not 'you being weird.'.

Even if you can't get diagnosed right now, your feelings are still real. You're not broken or alone, and it doesn't make you weaker to ask for help. Start small if you can writing in a journal, talking to a school counselor, or joining safe online communities. You deserve help too.

Genuinely ty a lot!
It’s just that sometimes I try to focus on myself I just get worried about the person or situation

[tawny patrol]

Ty loads too

Sometimes I find myself making myself that friend
Even if I know I’ll regret it later (most the time when it’s a heavy topic)

Ty again, I don’t think I trust teachers that much and I don’t think I even have a school counsellor or wtv..
I feel rlly out of place from my school sometimes, i genuinely don’t actually know a lot of my school despite being there most years like everyone, I only missed a year (in another school)

I’m here to listen or to vent to

[tawny patrol]

I want to ask if I can’t vent to you
But I don’t even where to start

I only know I wouldn’t discuss certain topics like ||$H, $@|| and maybe more

My dms are always open so feel free
