Hi @Chloe234 it sounds like you are going through a very tough time at the moment. I'm very sorry to hear that friend has been in and out of hospital especially with your aunt too. I can imagine how stressful that situation must be for you. I'm always here if you need someone to talk to.
Sending hugs,

Feeling as if you are continuously being faced by new hurdles can be exhausting and draining. It can feel so incredibly unfair to encounter yet another difficult issue when you've been through such a tough time already. It's understandable that you're finding this to be hard, such circumstances can be very frustrating and deflating.
It can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you feel surrounded only by darkness, but it is there. How have you been coping with this stress so far? We can explore some coping mechanisms and support options together if you'd like. We are by your side.
Take care.
I just wanted to check how you've been doing lately? Like everyone else has already said, please feel free to write about how you've been feeling here. We're here for you
I hope everything gets better for you
Super rubbish and I hear you @Chloe234. It's no fun at all.
I don't know if this helps, but I recently heard someone say 'every year is the year'. Dividing our lives up into years sometimes makes us lose sight of the fact that we're living one continuous life, and while years might be bad, our lives might be good. I'm not sure if that feels relatable or helpful but I thought I'd share it.
This too shall pass.
Sending you lots of hugs and I hope this year gets better for you

I relate to your friendship issues - that feeling of being replaced is not nice at all, it's very upsetting. I'm so sorry that you've been experiencing this, it's such a lonely and terrible feeling. Once you have the mental capacity, maybe it would help to talk to your friend about how this is making you feel, so that she can listen to you. I understand that talking face-to-face is so difficult, so you can do this through text as well if it makes you more comfortable. There's completely no rush to do this - you could try it when you feel like it should be said. You could decide to see what happens for the next few days before trying this out. Maybe this will get better.
I'm very sorry that your English teacher said all those terrible words - those words can really harm someone's mental health. I'd like to say to opposite of what she said. You do have hope for your GCSEs. Everything will be okay for you. It's completely alright to put your mental wellbeing first over your studies, since you can't do your best when you're not feeling your best.
Please feel free to continue reaching out ^^ and please take all the time that you need for these feelings to subside. It's so difficult at the moment, but everything is temporary. It will all pass.
Sending hugs
