Hey Ellie,

Crying is a completely natural thing to do, and it is sometimes good for us to cry! 

It can be seen as asking for help and there is nothing wrong with that. 

Do you want to talk about how you are feeling at the moment?

I cry to let ppl no tht I'm feeling something without speaking coz I can't find the words

Hi @ellie2000, 

That makes a lot of sense. It can be really difficult to put emotions into words, but by crying we can still express how we feel and help ourselves to be supported

What usually happens when you cry in class - are your teachers supportive?

Some are, 1 or 2 are like 'oh, stop it' which is not useful.

Hey @ellie2000

I had the panic feel today:(

Hey @ellie2000 sorry to hear that you were feeling panicky Can you think of what caused it?

Do you get anxious a lot? Mind has a really helpful article here that lists some ways to cope with panic, such as concentrating on your breathing or grounding techniques. 

Would you feel comfortable speaking to one of the supportive teachers about how you're feeling at the moment?
