Digital Mentor Luie Posted September 6 Digital Mentor Share Posted September 6 5 minutes ago, Treacle 246 said: Yes that's alright. I listened to music and had a bath tonight which I think I'm feeling better now. They won't be able to reschedule since we have to be there and it's the only session we can see and ask questions to our tutor without anyone else in the room. I'm glad to hear that you took some time for self-care and that it helped you feel a bit better. Music and a soothing bath can do wonders for calming the mind. I understand that the meeting is important, and it's a unique opportunity to have one-on-one time with your tutor. It's completely okay to have some anxiety about it, but please remember that you've already taken a step toward feeling better by practicing self-care. As you prepare for the meeting, take a few deep breaths and remind yourself that you can handle it. You've already shown resilience by reaching out and taking care of your well-being. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask your tutor. They are there to support you and help you succeed in sixth form. Look forward to hearing how it goes for you.

Good morning @Treacle 246, I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner but I wasn't online yesterday. I'm really proud of you for cutting ties with your friend !! I can imagine that it wasn't easy to do, especially as she keeps putting emotional pressure on you but you are putting yourself and your own emotional wellbeing first and that is so important. It sounds like you're really determined not to get involved again even when she keeps trying to contact you. Stay strong and I am sure she will get the message soon and will stop contacting you. As @Duckie said, we can also support you with this if you need any help blocking her account. It sounds to me like she could really do with some support (maybe from a counsellor) around managing her feelings and seeing things from other people's perspective. Thank you for sharing your worries around meeting your tutor today. I can see that @Luie has already given you lots of advice. You might also find it helpful to remind yourself that you felt really nervous before you met your counsellor for the first time but you got through it and now you enjoy seeing them. I hope it goes really well today. You can do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank tou well she hasn't messaged me yet. Yeah I don't want to be with her as her friend. She does have counsellor. It's alright right I'm feeling alright and not anxious. True but I've met my tutor before she was my pe teacher in year 9. So I've already met her but it's just going back to school for just 15 minutes then tomorrow is back at school.

I had no anxiety attacks, panic attacks which was good. My old head of year came to see me after school to check up on everything and she reassured me that everything was going to be ok. She also said this is my sixth year being back and this is the year I didn't have any panic attacks or anxiety attacks like I have done throughout year 7-11. I think it's the heat anxiety and just not being able to fall asleep. Which is quite frequent when it's near the start of a new year for school or when coming back to school after half term or holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you have a really good support system at school. It's so nice that the head of year came to talk to you about how you're feeling. That's excellent. Have you seen your tutor yet? Omg tell me about it... the heat gives me nightmares. I am so pleased the temperature is going to drop soon, because I am boiling! Also, have you heard anything from the girl or her friend? Have you managed to make social media private so that they won't bother you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Aurora, I'm doing alright I'm not at sixthform today due to my foot being broken.. yeah it is nice that she came to check up on me. Yep I have met my first tutor but not my second one.

Hi there :) Oh dear, what happened to your foot? Are you OK? Do you know how long it will take to heal? I can't wait for autumn! I could do with a good rain. I feel super spoilt for saying so, but I'm Scandinavian, so I literally can't deal with heat! xD I went to France two weeks ago and I literally got a heat rash as I stepped off the plane. I am not built for heat in the slightest xD I am really relieved to hear that no one is bothering you on social media anymore. That is such a relief. How do you feel about it now that some times has passed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to make sure it's not broken or anything. Would you like to talk about this? We are also available on Confidential Support if you would prefer to talk about it in private. It's at the top if this page, towards the middle (just under the search field). No pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know I've tried the confidential support but it won't let me reply so I think it's best to stay here. My sister is on my mind because it's been nearly 6 years since everything had kicked off and it's making me feel down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
