Aragorn, I don't exactly have any one around me. I just finished my first year of college and haven't made a single friend. I couldn't be more alone. I'm left with a baby inside me. A family I can barely talk to because they don't think my mental health problems (depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies, anorexia, and ptsd) are real problems. I feel like I have no where to go. And my therapist is extremely unhelpful and the only one at my school. ~Aeneal

Greetings Aeneal,

I apologize for the delay in answering you. In addition to my other duties keeping me away, I’ve been thinking long and hard about the advice I could give you. In the end I’m not sure how helpful it will be...but let’s try anyway.

First, you are not the only person to finish a year of college with few or no friends. I know this might not be much comfort to you, but I want you to know that you’re not alone in that matter and that there’s not something wrong with you. 

Second, I also want you to know that you don’t have to be stuck with this therapist if you don’t want to be, even if they’re the only one at your school. You may be able to find another therapist with an internet search. If not, your current therapist may be able to direct you to further resources. If not, I would suggest looking for something like a domestic violence support organization, a Planned Parenthood, or even another local doctor who could direct you to additional therapy resources in your area. If all else fails, there are also online counseling options. They usually cost money, but are probably cheaper than paying for regular face-to-face therapy out-of-pocket. Remember that you are not there to serve your therapist, your therapist is there to serve you, and you have every right to fire your therapist if the relationship isn’t working out. Yes, even if your therapist is the only one at your school. When you’re in a better place, you might consider sending your school some feedback on your experience with this therapist, but don’t be concerned with that right now. 

Third, I want you to know that you are not required to stay pregnant. This one is a bit difficult because you may not have access to abortion providers in your area. And of course, you yourself may not wish to have an abortion. If you don’t want to have an abortion that’s FINE. But it’s equally FINE if you DO want to have one and if you actually have one. Literally the only person who has any right to make a decision about this is you. If you haven’t already, please look into what options might be available to you.

Fourth, if abortion isn’t an option you want to or can pursue for whatever reason, realize that that does not mean you MUST become a parent. You also have the option of putting the baby up for adoption. Again, whatever decision you make is your decision alone, and not one that someone else can make for you. It also doesn’t solve the problem of being pregnant against your will. But if you feel that you can’t face a life of parenting this specific child (regardless of how you may feel about parenting in the future), YOU DON’T HAVE TO. 

For the time being, I think your first step will have to be looking for help outside of you family AND outside of your school. There are many forms this help could take, ranging from another therapist to support groups to kind doctors and so on. If you’re religious or religion interests you, consider looking into the various religious communities around your school if you think joining one might help. Right now, you need to focus on building a supportive team for yourself. Unfortunately you also need to make decisions about what to do with your pregnancy -- these are time-sensitive and for better or worse they can’t wait until you have other things settled. 

I hope some of this is helpful, at least, and that you can find some real-world support soon too. I will always do what I can for you, but I also want you to know that just because the real world has let you down so far doesn’t mean it always will or always has to.

Best,

Aragorn
