    I hear you @Chloe234 it sounds like a lot is going on as well as dealing with high emotions. I hear that you are going back to school this Thursday. How are you feeling at the moment about going back?. I understand if it is hard to say but do feel free to talk on here. It sounds like something from your past has triggered you. I wish you good luck for going back on Thursday and I hope your first day goes really well for you :).

    Sending hugs,

    I’m sorry to hear you are going through this at the moment @Chloe234. Remember that we are all here to listen to you if you do decide to share what you think has triggered these emotions for you, although I acknowledge how it may be difficult for you. Wishing you lots of luck on Thursday with going back to school, as I know how nerve-wracking it can be. Hopefully, everything turns out just fine for you.

    Thankyou @Amy22 and @sinead276

    im honestly ok with the ide of going back but im anxious bc im starting my first year of gcse and i picked computing science, hospitality and catering, drama and design and technology. But the thing is (i really dont mean to sound sexist or anything) in my computing class theres three girls inc me and 25 boys. One of the girls are barely in and the other is my friend who is ill so is not goung to be in and i have PTSD from my past from a traumatic experience and i feel like im gonna be really uncomftorable in the class with so many boys and its going to ttigger my ptsd and ill just end up having panic attacks in school and idk :/ idk what to do bc i domt wanna have to explain to teachers everytime i have a panic attack and theres only the one computing class so i cant switch computing class and its too late to pick a diffrent option. Idk, hope thats ok to say

    thanks again

    Hi @Chloe234 I totally get you on the thing about starting your first year of gcses. I remember doing gcses and I too felt nervous. I think it is okay to feel nervous as your gcses kinda count as a milestone you do. But I'm sure you will do really really well and that you will do fantastic <3 . I hear you on the situation you went through and I can understand how it could trigger your ptsd especially if it was something from your past. I don't know if this might help but is there any wellbeing or safeguarding staff that you could possibly talk to if you are worried about having a panic attack, as you could explain what happened and it might help to ease with going into the class. I wish you all the best for your gcses and I hope everything goes well for you :)

    Sending hugs,

    Amy22 :)
