Please don’t let depression, anxiety and sadness get you down @marikofujimoto, you are such a beautiful, special and amazing angel who deserves to feel positive, happy and upbeat, do reach out for help and support when you need it sweetie, I want to see you lead a truly fabulous life Mariko, get your thoughts, feelings and emotions out in a good way, hold your head up high, believe in yourself and never give up, you can do it hun, inbox me anytime if you want to chat or vent, stay strong, you are never alone <3 (hugs)

I’m sorry to read you’re going through this, Mariko. Sometimes asking for help can be very distressing, so it might be helpful to think about it as another similar activity you do on a daily basis. People at the uni services are there to listen and help you, just as we are here for you. You can try to think of them as the BT comunity. Also, if you’ve got the chance, talking to a friend/family member you trust before going to uni services can relieve some of the anxiety. I hope everything turns out alright @marikofujimoto, and remember that you can count on me and everyone here on BT.
