    I think @Past User was modding general chat but she has chosen to do this.

    I feel scared to go to school tomorrow.  :'( Been getting bullied again. I was really close to walking out of school and going home earlier.

    I know that I am probably being a burden to everyone. Sorry.

    It is really hard for me. The teachers don't even really care anymore. Might as well sometimes just bunk off and hide in the SEN unit

    Ah hey eleanor!

    I have had email counselling and i call and message the college counsellor over the phone now due to the lockdown :)

    At times like these Kasa its important to do things for our own health and if nothing is being done and you need a break i would suggest to take time away somewhere x

    @Past User Does doing it over the phone differ much from doing it in person?- I'm doing mine over call tomorrow morning but it's the first time I've done that, usually we do it in person

    It can feel different @MountainPeak
    i found it a bit weird at first as i was used to seeing her face but its not so bad i much prefer it to not having any at all its still very helpful and easier than i thought, talking on the phone can be a struggle but after the first one or two i got the swing of it :)

    By the way I am not in crisis.

    @Kasa2103
    Its okay we're all here rallying behind you <3

    I am assuming as you still go to school its because you couldn't stay at home?
    is there no way you could use it as a safe space? go to an area that nobody is in and chill? 


  • Former MemberFormer Member Living the Zen life 🧘🏼‍♀️ Posts: 1,989 Extreme Poster
    Ahh okay, I feel like it will be easier to talk to her over the phone but I also think it could be harder because she reads a lot of my body language and whether I'm making eye contact or not to know if something is challenging to talk about

    @Aidan, Yeah I'll think she'll know by the tone of my voice, I've been seeing her for over a year so she knows me well! I haven't had a phone session yet, the first one is tomorrow morning 
  • Former MemberFormer Member Fruit loop Deactivated Posts: 2,762 Boards Guru

    Thank you. Yes that is why I still go to school. I count as vulnerable  (on the autistic spectrum) and my mum is a key worker  (she cannot work from home.) My dad can't work from home either.

    I can't use the SEN unit as a safe space because all the classrooms are either locked or the teacher is not letting people in. I only either go for lessons or at lunchtime.
