They said I can't talk to her again which is a shame because I could really do with talking to someone this week. I hate it here and really want to go home
Thank you

Are you willing to have a go of talking to someone different? I understand it's scary but you managed to talk to them on the phone once and you got someone you liked, who's to say that might not happen again? *hug*
I'm going to ring them again at some point yeah

If anyone's been into a Samaritans branch before please let me know what its like. I still have to ring to confirm it first before I go, if I go. Its open 7pm-10pm tonight

I haven't, no, but a good friend of mine from sixth form did a while ago and said it was very helpful. I could be wrong but I think the question you need to ask yourself is do you really want to? Try and forget about your fears for a second and maybe tell yourself what you're hoping to get from going. If you want it enough then you can overcome this fear and things are hardly ever as scary as they might seem.
Yes I do want to. They are the only people outside of TS where I can be totally honest.
I'm just worried about who I will see etc

Did you end up going in the end?

Visiting the Samaritans in person can take a load of courage, which can be pretty hard to muster in times we'd need them most. So it's totally understandable, and absolutely okay that you didn't make it this time
Most branches have a page where you can read a bit more about them and what you can expect. Maybe it'd help to have a look here to see if your local branch does this?

It would give you another person to talk to and even more support than what you have.

At least if you go then youd add to the long list of people and support you already have?!.....

You are extremely lucky with all of the support you have and people to talk to etc.If you went then youd have evn more than what you do now!!.....
How did you find it?

You get a lot of attention from Max and charlie,when she was there,Everyone replies to you cause they feel sorry for you.You say things to make people reply and give you thw attention you want.You habe a lot of support online,and offline.Sorry xx
I don't get a lot of attention from them at all, I get the same as you. And what sort of things do I say to make people reply?

It feels like this is getting a bit off topic...
The great thing about the boards is that it's totally separate from places like Childline. You're both allowed to ask for support in both places - that's absolutely fine
AngelFace - it sounds like you feel a bit ignored at CL sometimes? If that's the case, then it's great you feel able to talk about it, but it might be best to bring it up with someone over there?
Becki - going into a branch can seem pretty daunting. Perhaps writing down what you want to say first might help boost your confidence a bit?
