Has your sister ever given you one of those lists on how not to help a depressed person? She probably should. Everyone has their own history, chemistry, and ways to cope with life. The way to change a habit is not to stop one, but to start another, better one.

I hope you recover soon, but I would suggest that you seek help in the meantime (as others already have).

Please hold on, and I wish you well. :D :heart:

The self harm urges are getting worse. I can fource happiness but everytime i do i crash even harder.

Im considering going back to the psych ward... Or esle i worry ill get too low again and do something irreversable.

Is it worth it to go back if i know my seasonal depression will pass? Should i just stop thinking about it? I honestly dont know..

I can tell you by experience that weed will just make things worse; it does take the anxiety away at the time, but it exacerbates the depressive symptomatology in the long run. All the advise about preventing SAD is very much on point, but you seem to have an acute episode (considering all the suicidal thoughts and self-harm), so I'd highly advise you to get in contact with the psych ward as soon as possible. You'll need some balance before you can start drafting a plan that includes light therapy and dog walks (which I'm sure will help you a lot later on!). Wish you the best of luck and hope to hear back in not too long :heart:
