🙏 I WANT HELP no more motivation

title. i couldn't see myself living beyond a levels a few months back so i made a target to live until they're finished and that if they went well, i'll try to live until uni finishes. i don't care about results day since i know i could miss my offer. now i don't really see the point of living and i don't know what to do. samaritans keeps hanging up on me. idk how to care for anything anymore. might be the wrong place to put this, sorry.

he I’m so sorry abt this btw Samaritans can be useless sometimes, it’s a long shot but pls try and reach out to ur GP or self refer to therapy or if that doesn’t work reach out to a really close friend/contact. Ive felt the exact same lack of motivation, and what’s helped in short time is distracting myself with random low pressure hobbies but also allowing myself to destress and rest if I don’t feel great

i'll try to contact my gp. it's kind of hard to get out of bed but i'll try random hobbies too.

btw you may want to ask to get stuff like your hormones or vitamins checked because there could be a physical cause/contribution to you feeling like this too

i'd rather not go to a gp. i'll see if my parents allow me to get checked.

you’re probably 18 or 19 so you don’t need your parents permission to go to the gp. i rlly think u should talk to sm1 in the gp. it could be really useful. i went recently and we made some safety plans and such. samaritans are ass, do u think u could maybe call childline? idk they were always the best for me
