Just needing some support right now; going through a very difficult time and would appreciate some kind words of advice, even if it's anonymous.
My parents have been going through a grueling 8 year long divorce, and it might be coming to an end within these next 2 weeks. I haven't spoken to my dad in 3 years because of the abuse I've dealt with during childhood. I've never thought of him as a fatherly figure, and he cheated on my mom during their entire marriage. I am diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar, and PTSD, yet I've had it for so long that it is very easy to mask it when I'm in public. I'm in college right now, away from my mom and younger brother and it's just hard because I feel so alone without them, and I want to be there with them through this important time. It's also very difficult to bring any of this kind of stuff up to my friends because I just don't think they wouldn't understand, neither do I want to seem like a burden when everyone is so concentrated on academics. My grandma also passed away on my birthday this past summer, so a lot of things have really been hitting me hard. If there is anyone who can relate or anyone who feels like they could share a word of advice with me, I would truly appreciate it. <3

Hi, I'm glad you were able to reach out and share what you are going through right now. Sounds like you are having a really hard time.
With everything that you have been through. going through it is hardly surprising that you are experiencing some issues so to speak.
Well done for getting in to college, how are you coping with those thoughts you are having about wanting to be there for your mom and brother right now? I know that starting college can be difficult at the best of times, let alone when you are having to deal with all this other stuff.
I am sad to hear than your grandma passed this year, sounds like she was an important person in your life.
I dont know if I have helped in any way but I really wanted to say that I am here for you as a listener if you need someone to listen, to share things with, please sned me a message or reply to this whatever you are most comfortable with.
Take care <3
