My dad is getting me someone to talk too, though he thinks it won't help because he believes that I should be able to talk to them, the family. But I can't. My sister wants an explanation for EVERYTHING. Such as, why I don't I want to go to school, why am I scared, why this, why that.
Same thing with my dad. I am just scared honestly. I don't know how to explain it other than, when I am around so many people, I can't breath, my hands shake, my heart races. They just don't understand.
They think it is all for attention, but it really isn't. I just wanted to know I was/am loved. I don't want anything else.
I just can't go back to school. He won't even settle for letting me stay home for the rest of the school year.
I am so scared to do this.I am so scared. I don't know what else to do to get through to them that I can't handle being around so many people right now.
I am fragile and I still feel alone.

I am glad you are getting help, ArtieGallow. I wish you the best.

Oh Artie, I'm SO glad that your Dad is getting you some help!! This is just what you need! I pray he does it soon -- like today maybe. It's exactly what you need.

I know you're scared Artie. But legally, your Dad HAS to send you to school. He could get into a lot of trouble if he didn't send you. The law states that you have to go to school. And if your Dad works, he can't home school you very easily. He may not even know how. You have to realize that many subjects like math are WAY beyond what we were taught in school. *I* don't have a CLUE how to do this new math stuff. I can do the old math, but that's not what they want! LOL

Anyway -- try to hold it together in school -- just keep thinking that you ARE going to be getting help, and no one is staring at you, and no one knows anything about your problems. Keep us posted. Love, Lee
