And I just want to stay home and not go out. I'm also not getting good sleep I've been getting around 6 hours of sleep for a while and I don't know whats triggered it. for prom was because i was with friends and family and seeing my favourite teachers Thank you It's really good that you have noticed that. I think you're right, both sleep and not wanting to go out can be signs that we are not feeling very well. Often the two are linked as well, the less we go out, the more difficult we find it to sleep at night and the less sleep we get, the less we feel like doing stuff during the day. Does that make sense? What do you think might be easier to change - your sleeping habits or going out more during the day? Also, do you mind me asking if you are still seeing your counsellor or has that stopped over the summer? Prom sounds great! Has school finished now? If so, do you still get to see your friends? It sounds like seeing your friends is something that you really enjoy. Is that right? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my last session yesterday and it's carrying on after the summer. Yes school will be finishing tomorrow. Some days I get to see them. And yes I enjoy seeing them.

How do you feel about school finishing and have you made plans to see your friends over the summer? That might help with getting out more. Can you think of anything else that might help you to get out the house more? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we have made plans with my friends. I'm hoping that it will help me get out more. I don't really know I've got alot of doctors appointments so might help.

It's nice to hear that you've made plans to see your friends. When are you next seeing them? Also, I can remember you enjoyed being off school during your holidays in June and you were feeling a lot more relaxed and like you could focus on yourself and your own wellbeing. Do you mind me asking, what you think is different this time? You mentioned that you were going for a run in the mornings then. Is that still something you're doing? If not, do you think that might be something you'd like to start up again? You also mentioned a lot of doctor's appointments. Do you mind me asking, if that's related to when you had to go to hospital? I hope everything is OK. We're here for you. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear they are checking up on you and I hope everything is OK. Have you mentioned to them how you have been feeling? It might be good for the doctor to know as well, in case any of this is linked to what happened to you. It sounded like it was a pretty scary experience when you had to go to hospital. Is that right? Would you like to tell me a bit more about the thoughts you've been having about going to college or sixth form? Do you think it might be helpful to talk about it? I can understand why you stopped running. I'm wondering whether it might be a good idea to start that up again though? Physical exercise can really help us with stress and anxiety and it can also help with our sleep. What do you think? If you think it might be a good idea, what would need to change so you can start running again? It's nice to hear that you're seeing your friends again in the week. Have you noticed that you feel different when you are with your friends? I hope you don't mind me asking so many questions. I feel like there might be different reasons as to why you are feeling low at the moment and what you might find helpful right now. That's why I thought we could maybe explore different ideas together. I hope that's Ok with you. Please don't feel you have to answer all my questions if you don't want to.

Yes I've been talking to friends about how I feel. Yeah I told her and she said it's linked she didn't really say much after that. Yeah what happened to me was a scary experience. Sixthform is I want to go since I know the teachers there. But I'm afraid that I might not get the grades that I want. College is easier than sixthform. Yeah I've noticed that I'm different around them like I'm smiling and laughing alot. No I don't mind. Yeah I think there is different reasons. That's alright thank you.

That's nice that you only have to go in for a short amount of time on your first day Are you looking forward to starting Sixthform?

Bicester is great for shopping!! I hope you find something nice. I can understand why you are feeling nervous - when we start something new it's natural to feel a bit nervous about it (even if it's at your old school). Is there anything in particular that is making you anxious? I'm really glad to hear that you can keep seeing the school nurse and your counsellor.
