Something’s not right

confused and a little lost i guess? i don't know what to call it to be honest

confused and a little lost i guess? i don't know what to call it to be honest

so i have a small dilemma-

i'm in my last year of high school.

assesment is piling on top of each other; one by one which turns to a thousand.

my mind can't help but to procrastinate and i never freak out until an hour before deadline.

my efforts go to the same for my friends and family. which is why i don't want to go to them to talk about my- another word for depression- because it doesn't feel like depression.

lonely, lost, confused, lazy, behind, constantly these feelings are what i always feel everyday but i've grown used to it. except it still doesn't feel completely right.

the little problem with this is i've grown to resort to small pills, drugs, alcohol, but not too excessive.

i want to talk to someone about it and i've researched the helplines but i don't have a phone, just a laptop. but all these support lines require a phone number to use to be able to talk to people and i don't know what to do.

again, it has left me lost, confused and lonely.

Hi there @anamay ,

Good on your for reaching out. I gather you are 18+ years old?

It does sound tough right now where things are piling on top of each other. Perhaps your self-managing with drugs, pills and alcohol is adding to these feelings? Alcohol itself is a depressant. Even if you don't feel depressed, it has those effects on your body.

Have you tried the ReachOut 1:1 Peer Chat? That is text based. https://au.reachout.com/peerchat

Also, have you tried speaking to your school about what's currently happening for you?

Hi @anamay

Welcome to the forums.

Good on you for reaching out here.

It's tough to know what to do when you can't really put your finger on what's wrong.

It sounds to me like you are self medicating which is not a good thing.

Maybe try talking to your GP and getting some advice.
