As some people might know here I've been off school for about 3 weeks now. By then when I'm coming back I'm going to do better with home work, friends and me. Also have a new hair cut about time! Mostly been having a hard time being depressed can make you forget about the good stuff to see in life. I've been down for 3 years now of me teenage life finally seeking for help and in 7 days it will arrive. A lot has changed to me I moved switched schools even went to a first funeral for my granpa. I have been half way near to death before but I never have give up my youth with hope. Also joining sport clubs like badminton, jogging, gym. Seeing a consellor has helped a lot made me think even more think twice about life. So when I get back to school I have to stand up to everyone, which is going to be the biggest step ever that I took before. It's nice to know that some people plus my friends miss me. I know someone would ask me "Why wernt you at school for 3 weeks?" I would say I had the flu because I did for quite a lot and maybe because of somethine else!" I know that there will be some rumors about me and me being away. Some people even thought I was leaving school. Nope lol I'll be back sooner than you know it haha. Hoping to be put on anti-depressants because I know that my emotions can take control of me. Proberly when I get back even better than before I will give loads of hugs to everyone because I missed then too. Even going to give my ex a hug though we have been out twice before. It could work out again who knows. With this other boy I really use to like, I've now realised that I like him enough to say I don't like him. If that makes any sense at all? I'm going to take a deep breath when I walk through the doors of secondly school. I have been bullied before there because I was the new girl, shy, quiet, too nice. But now when I'm comming back I will be me and not some else who I dunno. Looking back its been almost a year at my new school. I've met loads of people in and out of school. Which are all friendly and nice like you guys here. Also noticed that I have broken my catipillar shell and spring into a butterfly. Its time to breath on my own! Just need a wish me good, luck when I come back to school please! (Thanks for reading this all or looking at this post)

Hi Miss A:
Antidepressants can be a really helpful tool, but have you ever tried yoga? It's something you can do cheaply and on your own, it doesn't require trips to the doctor or refills, and it's a long-term solution. The breathing techniques alone are hugely helpful at alleviating anxiety. Plus, the stronger you get physically and the physical improvement you will see in your body will go a long way at improving self-confidence and independence.

Just a suggestion for an almost free tool you can use against depression and anxiety.

Good luck,
LMo

I am sending you many good wishes of luck.
Also do not let ones that question where you were, in that "not sincere way", I had a similar situation back in HS, and I was new there, bullied, pushing me into being a "quiet and shy person", and even being that way seemed to attract more bullies, etc.
Believe me, my teens were not great at all, like others claim their's were.
But my words of optimism, you can get through this awkward time in our lives, so many of us have survived it and went forth in this world, for me the 20's were the begining of a happier me, making money at a fairly good job, independence, feeling like a true adult but still young
It seems since the time I graduated HS and walked out those doors for the last time, life was less bleak.
Sure over the next years to come you will have ups and downs, but keep your head, you can make it through
Again, lots of love and luck to you

School is so manufactured. Explore what you like and dislike and try on new activities that can be with you for a life time. Most of us will agree that the friends don't stay and I for one can't even remember their names.

Just be yoruself..

Good luck..

Your dragon is here wating yoru reply to see how ti went ok..
I will post and tell you how my first day back at school went ok..

[silver_queen]

Good luck, miss a. Hopefully you'll enjoy it. The first day or week back might be hard, but I guess once people have satisfied their curiosity about your absence, and got used to you being back in class again, things should go fine. People are always going to be nosey and ask where you have been, and ask for too many details and not know when they're butting in where they're not wanted. Tell them a story you're comfortable with, and with not too many embellishments. Maybe that you had flu or a bad allergy... something that most people can relate to... though flu is an over-used excuse, and it's June now. Anyway, I hope school goes ok tomorrow... if ppl have a go at you about your absence, just ignore them... try not to let them upset you.
