Hi there,

Thank you so much for reaching out. I'm so sorry that you've had to undergo so much.

I see that you and Emma have been conversing about this already and that a few suggestions have been made. The pandemic has aggravated things, frustratingly so.

Seeing that support groups, family and friends have not been helpful, perhaps you might want to contact a crisis text line/hotline? I know you mentioned that you need therapy and that it will take you some years to save up for it, but there are organisations/NGOs out there that provide suicide and depression counselling for free. Have you tried searching for any in your area? Usually the crisis hotlines/text lines will be associated with such organisations.

Take care!
