How many /lgbt/ depressed here?
I broke up with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, and thought I'd been okay with it, but I've realized that for the past few weeks I've been falling more and more into depressive patterns. I'm sleeping around 12 hours a night, I'm not really eating, I spend hours in bed every day wishing I had someone to love me...
I've thought about going to the school counseling center, but I know they're up to their neck in people, it's really hard to get an appointment, and I know people who've been told that they should go to group therapy or talk to peer counselors (students with 10 hours of therapy training, who want to help) because the center needs to focus on the more pressing cases, and I'm scared of going in there just to be told I'm not suicidal enough to need help. And I don't think I'd ever actually kill myself, suicidal ideation? Yes. Acting on it? No.
How does everyone else deal with it?

Fuck "peer counselors." They're amateurs who are typically in way over their heads. Get actual therapy from a licensed professional. Also no one is ever "not suicidal enough" to need help if they have suicide ideation. That mentality is just a way to trivialize your problems and add to the self-loathing delusion that you're unworthy of help.

Fuck off back to your school counsiller. Don't you get enough attention already?
I'm also depressed because I'm so fucking ugly. I'm a monster.

how exactly does being a fag help you overcome being ugly? reducing the dating pool typically yields less results, and you don't have a high success rate anyway
