I prioritized my mental health over school and am getting SO MUCH SHIT FOR IT

...but I am so proud of myself for the first time in so long.

My teachers, school counselors, friends are all telling me I should wait until the semester ends to get the help i need, even though I got out of suicide watch just last week.

My coworker who I vented to the other day told me she was proud of me and that I should be proud of myself and I actually am.... I barely know the girl but am so thankful for her.

Ive needed to do some sort of intensive program since I was a kid, like 11 or 12, and I’m 22 now. I started three days ago and i haven’t felt like this in a long time.

Im one semester away from graduating and have so many conflicting thoughts but I know in my gut that this is what I need to do.

Y’all, never let work or school go before your health, it is so important. Prioritize yourself.
