Do you think it would be helpful to tell your welfare officer that you have been struggling with your mental health recently. What do you think is stopping you from telling her, if you don't mind me asking? Hi Aurora, I forgot to reply but I had a meeting with my welfare manager and she noticed that there was something up and wrong i couldn’t say it as it was difficult but half way through the meeting I told my welfare manager that I'm struggling with my mental she has let me talked to her about mostly everything but I still haven't said everything as thighs just keep popping up and interrupting what im trying to say as my mind is way to full of stress. It has been every helpful ever since I've told her. Its my anxiety that was stopping me from telling her MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear that it's been really helpful telling her. How are you feeling today? I get why you found it difficult to talk about. Feeling anxious can make it really difficult to talk about what's on our mind. We might worry about what the other person might think/say and like you said anxiety can also make it difficult to find the right words, as thoughts just keep popping into our head, disrupting what we are trying to say. Do you think you might find it easier to write things down? If so, maybe next time you have something on your mind and you don't know how to tell your welfare manager (or anyone else) you could write them a note before you meet and then pass it to them during your meeting. Would that work? Have you got Easter holidays now? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries if not - we can always think of other ways on how you might find it easier to talk about these kinds of things. Have you got any plans for the Easter holidays? How is your Mum?

It was really sunny and warm where I live, which made a big difference I didn't realise you have exams to prepare for. I get why you're not looking forward to going back and would rather have more time off. Have you had to do some revision over the holidays or do you have enough time once you go back to college to prepare for the exams?

Do you know how she manages to get back in touch with you, after you have blocked her? I can see why colouring, reading and journaling help you to take your mind of things. Is there anything else that you can think of? Just to let you know that I have to log off in a minute but I will be back online tomorrow.
