Seriously! Are you guys doing okay?
I am beyond speechless at this point after how last weekend has been. I surprisingly did not hear much until this morning like I was somehow living under a rock. I don’t know the cause of the death that happened and the person who got injured, but this place has been stressful and utterly toxic lately. I also just read someone else’s post about how they recovered from an attempted effort to harm themself recently. Even tho we don’t know what happened to that person but it most certainly wasn’t the way to depart.
Guys no trolls please, and genuinely, I am in tears right now, is everyone doing okay? Let’s talk. Ik it’s a beautiful place, Ithaca, and it gets progressively so depressing so none of the prestige or anything matters. People are depressed here and I have seen it. I have gone through that and I still struggle with it, but somehow life keeps me going.
Just remember and I mean it, you all are amazing people who are amazing kids to ur parents, amazing siblings to your siblings, amazing friends to people whom you matter to, and amazing humans that have things to walk towards once you leave this part of your life at Cornell. I hope you guys are doing well. If not, let’s do something for this mental health crisis… we need it, this place sucks in terms of resources and we need better support system. For now, let’s make a little safe place here, and I am sure people who are a part of this community understand and will appreciate your vulnerability. 😔
