I'm sorry the counselling meeting didn't go so well today. You mentioned before that you find it difficult to talk about your mental health and also the experiences you've had in the past with the bullying. Does your counsellor know, that you find it difficult to talk about these things? Was there anything that you found helpful during your session today?ย I'm glad to hear your weekend was OK.ย Yeah she knows that I find it difficult to talk about mental helath ย Not really it was just difficult and i broke down after my counselling meeting in the library.ย MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that that was probably quite stressful for you. Did you have any support around you when this happened? It can be really difficult to talk about these things. Sometimes we feel worse straight after talking about our mental health but then, once we have given ourselves a bit of time to process everything we talked about we'll feel better than we did before. Is that something you've noticed before?ย I'm going to have to log off soon but I will be back online on Thursday and I will check in with you then. In the meantime you can also talk to one of the other support mentors if you like. We're here for youย ย MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you mentioned this to your youth workย teacher at all? They might be able to give you a bit of extra support.ย That's really good that you are seeing your welfare manager regularly and that it's helping you calm down. It's so important that you trust her, too. I would imagine that makes it much easier to talk to her. Is that right?ย ย Is there anything at all that you do at home to help you relax and switch off?
