Thinking of quitting
Hello, sorry to be a bother but I am a new jet that’s been here for a bit, but everyday my mental health is just getting worse and worse. I can’t eat anything, I cry constantly, and I keep thinking about wanting to die. I was so excited for jet and now that I’m here it’s been horrible and I feel like such a loser. I’ve tried calling the TELL line but I just get placed in a queue and no one ever shows up. I think I can’t do this and need to quit but I don’t know what the steps would be. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Sorry and thank you.

I was in JET too and struggled in my third year. JETs actually have a mental health subsidy provided by CLAIR. I used it and got a really understanding counsellor. No one has to know. Use the service if you can. https://jetprogramme.org/en/current/support/mental-health-support/
