I'm new here

[SydBRG]

I'm in my third year of university and I feel like I've just been drifting through life for the past three years. I've always had issues with dark thoughts, anxiety, and sadness but I've never gotten an official diagnosis. Over the past couple months the suicidal thoughts have gotten more frequent but it almost feels as though I'm not connected to the thoughts.. if that makes sense? It's like I'm thinking about killing myself but only theoretically. I guess I'm just worried that if these thoughts continue they might become more real.

Sounds like you could do with a visit to your GP or college counsellor to discuss these issues as it could help you clarify what is the matter right now. These are seriously distressing thoughts you are having and I think some professional input is your next step. x
