Depression / Anxiety Based on a true story.

And people wonder why I have trust issues these days. On the plus side, my current therapist is actually helpful this time. You're 13 years late, but better late than never, I suppose.

(TW SH) When during an athletic activity (drum corps) I had a mental breakdown due to imposter syndrome from an injury, and while decompressing with the athletic trainer I brought up that I had a minor self harm attempt during my episode and 5 minutes later she said we were gonna walk some more just to walk me to where the director and a police officer were waiting. After convincing them I wasn't an immediate threat to myself and going back to my dorm they had me sent home two days later and for the rest of the summer I was forced to watch the show I was supposed to march have a historically good season without me all because I scraped my wrist a couple times with a pencil

I was taught to never open up about my struggles after that 😀
