Hey everyone,
I'm Dan, I'm 16, and I'm just about to start year 11 exams, now onto the issue;
About 5 months ago I started counseling at my local youth services due to my mother leaving me, my stepdad (now guardian), and my 2 little brothers (they have shared custody).
After a few weeks, the counseling started to work, I felt like I could deal with stuff better.
After a few more sessions, I started going to the doctor to get anti depressants due to my counselor thinking I was at risk of self harm/suicide, due to thoughts I had written down into a book..
After 2 months, I was abruptly taken off the meds
Conveniently, last month my Grandma died, and my mother decided to text me things like "ur a **** up" and "go die", among other things.
Now I've ceased communication with my mother, but lately I've been having really dangerous thoughts.
I'm thinking too far ahead, just today I've been wondering how I'm going to support myself now.
My stepdad/guardian barely has enough money to buy food, let alone school fees, uniform, equipment etc.
and, he told me that there's no way I can claim any welfare money/youth allowance because I live with him.
I don't want the dangerous thoughts to escalate any further.../:
