I'm so sorry you are feeling so depressed. You have so much you are trying to deal with. It sounds overwhelming and at times like that a person might want to keep life very simple. Allow yourself to just be.

From what you say it seems like you will need to go outside of your family for help. It also sounds like you would benefit from help beyond a school counselor; however, the school counselor may be a place to start to find the help that will allow you to feel better.

Do you have a doctor who is following up with you after your hospitalization? What services were offered to you when you were discharged? Could you call the hospital for more help, on an outpatient basis?

I think you need somebody in your corner. I hope you can find a psychologist or counselor to talk to and to help you.

While you are thinking about finding help and while you are looking for help, be good to yourself with rest, healthy food, some exercise like a short walk.

Sometimes wrapping up in a blanket and resting is just what we need and it's good to give ourselves permission to do that. To just be.

Let us know how you are doing.
