Today at college

TW// mentions of self harm

I am safe

So last night I had a very bad night and ended up relapsing and then crying till 4am and then I had disturbed sleep when I did manage too.

This morning I managed to pretend I was okay and act like nothing was wrong but then at lunch time I completely fell apart, I cried in the bathrooms for most of lunch and then it was time for class in witch I didn’t make it into the room. My teacher new I wasn’t okay so asked me to stay outside whilst she got the class settled

This teacher has been continuously lovely with me and been trying to get me support from the student mentor who has been busy (this has been going on since before half term) so because I told su that I’d self harmed she put in an urgent call for me to speak to Emma the safeguarding lead and so after a bit she came up to see me and spoke to me, she said she wanted the first aider to have a look at my injury to check it was okay in which I let them so Emma, Janis and this other teacher took me into an office and were all so lovely and chatted to me whilst Janis sorted out my sh. Emma then assessed my safety and deemed me safe enough for her to not have to let anyone outside of college know which I’m so glad about.

Emma and Janis and this other lady have all said that if I ever need to chat or if I need Janis to check anything over for me then I’m welcome to find them but they have all said that if I talk to Janis or the other lady then they will obviously pass it onto Emma because she’s safeguard lead. Emma has also given me her email, support links and her work number in case I need anything

So overall they’ve been so so so nice with me and have said multiple times that they are there for me whenever I need.
Want to hurt me… go ahead
Wish to bully me…I’m used to it
Want to talk crap about me…go on then
Want to make me cry…feel free

    Hi @Rose113 it sounds like you have had a lot going on recently- well done for reaching out for support it's very brave of you. I am glad to hear that you have a very good support network at school. It's so important to be surrounded by supportive people who care. How have you been getting on recently?

    @Rose113 it's understandable that it is worrying talking to others about how you feel. It's okay to feel that way. Remember though that she has your best interests at heart and that she only wants to help. Is there a particular reason you felt that you had to run away?
