Answers:

no you shouldnt go 2 school



Sweetie,
You should definitely go to school today. Staying home alone is probably the wost thing you could do, and I can tell you want to live and be OK because you mention you're afraid of doing something
"I may regret." Is this something you are unable to talk to your parents about? If so, then you need
to see your school counselor TODAY or talk to a trusted teacher. You could/should also call a crisis line. I have a number for you to call and they are available 24/7...I just called them to make sure they are available and there will be someone there who could take your call..please call them honey and get the help you need...you're just too valuable to give up on yourself. The number is
1-800-273-8255
God bless you and good luck,

I know you don't feel like it, but you should go to school today. Don't isolate yourself. You need to be around other people. You may also want to see if you can talk to a guidance counselor today. They really are there to help you. If you let one of your teachers or one of your counselors know that you're having a problem and you're afraid you might hurt yourself, they WILL take you out of class and make sure you get help.



Life is full of stresses and problems, but there are solutions to them if you take a moment to step back, breathe, and let someone know what you're going through. That's the only way that anyone can begin to help you sort things through. Ending you life is a permanent solution to what are often very temporary problems, and it should never be an option. Before you do anything to harm yourself in any way, reach out to someone! More specifically, try giving the Boys Town National Hotline a call at 1-800-448-3000! Trained professional counselors are available 24/7 to listen to your concerns, offer advice, and help you make decisions that are right for you! It's obvious that you're feeling real alone and isolated right now and that's the last thing we want you to be! We're concerned for your safety and want to help you however we can. We're just a phone call away... call now!

Counselor, AJ

yes go to school. it can be a distraction.

When you are triggered the best thing to try and do is ground yourself by doing activities such as the ones on this list:

1. breathe slowly and deeply. In for 5 seconds. Hold for 5 seconds. Out for 5 seconds. and keep repeating it over and over.

2. Use your 5 senses. Smell 5 things where you are now. Taste 5 things. Hear 5 things. See 5 things. Touch 5 things. BUT if one of the senses is what triggered you don't use that sense, skip over it and use another one twice.

3. Call someone you trust, like a friend or your T

4. Write in a journal

5. Draw

6. Change your scenery. If you are outside go inside and visa versa.

7. Write poetry or a story

8. Read a book

9. Play video games

10. Write a letter to someone who hurt you. Then crumple it up and throw it away. Put all the thoughts down on paper as if you would show the person but tear it up and never show them. That is a way for you to get it out.

11. Go for a walk or jog. Be mindful, look at your surroundings and feel the sun, rain, snow, hot, cold.

12. Hold ice in your hand. The cold will snap you back to the present and wont leave any marks

13. Snap a rubber band against your wrist. Once again it will bring you back to the present.

14. Repeat phrases such as "I am safe now" "It's over" "It's just a memory"

15. If you have a pet like a dog or cat pet them, brush them, hug them. Pets hold unconditional love for their owners and are amazing at making people feel better.

It's not worth it. Why are you depressed? That's serious. Life's suppose to be enjoyable not miserable. Maybe you should see a counselor. I've hurt myself before. But i soon realized hurting myself gets me nowhere. I want to live a happy life, You should too.



don't go to school go see someone close to you that you care about, talk to them and tell them how you are feeling they will help you out and make you feel better

i have felt like this before



Hey don't do anything dumb! Me too I'm not sick but I still miss school and it sucks cause I'll miss a day of school and then it'll turn into a week :(



Go to class. I have ruined lots of my time and suggesting you with some experience.



DO IT! Whatever you claim you were going to do, do it! I dare you to :)
