Filled With Despair
A conversation with a former student after reading her post on Facebook:
ME: Why are you posting something about suicide???! Are you ok????
HER: I'm fine thank you. It's not about suicide though. It's like, I'm lonely but when people try to talk to me I chase them away.
ME: End my life?? I really don't know what to say. I'm sorry to hear that.
HER: Thank you for noticing. I really am trying. 58 days today! I plan on continuing it. I have horrible social anxiety so I usually stay to myself. It is starting to get to me.
ME: And I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. You certainly try so hard to stay clean. I hope you can go after your loneliness with the same effort.
ME: Are you under a doctors care?
HER: Yeah. I'm over medicated if you ask me
ME: Yea, that can be a problem.
HER: I'm weaning myself off of seroquel currently
ME: What does this drug do?
HER:Trying to even things out.
