If you know other hotlines that provide support that are not on this list, feel free to contact a BlogTeam member to add it to this list.
Regarding replies that mention or are about religion: Generally, religion should be avoided when replying to other people to give them hugs, such as stating that you will be praying for them. However, exceptions will be made if the person asking for hugs is asking for prayers from people who practice the same religion as them or if they are open about what religion they practice. Otherwise, people who do not practice the same religion or do not practice any religion should steer clear of providing religion-related comfort if they don’t know if another BlogClanner practices a specific religion.
A note from BlogTeam: From now on, we will no longer moderate comments on the Hug Page that go into specific detail about events. Instead, commenters will post in a vague manner, such as “I’m having a bad day, I could really use some hugs”, and other BlogClanners are welcome to provide comfort and support. This change is not because of any specific event or person, but because it is extremely difficult to mitigate questionable comments and determine what parts of certain comments are suitable to moderate, as well as making sure that replies with advice are in no way harmful to the original poster or others. If you ever feel like you need advice about a serious situation, you are welcome to reach out to BlogTeam, because your health and safety is our top priority. However, no one on BlogTeam is or has ever been a mental health professional in any way, and all we can do is provide advice. We implore you to always reach out to a trusted adult or hotline (listed above) about a situation that worries you. You are still welcome to come to the Hug Page if you need any hugs or comfort from your BlogClan peers, but the cause of your distress can no longer be explained——no matter the situation. Thank you so much for understanding <3

It is 7:00 in the morning and my mom just took my dad to the hospital
He has a really bad ear infection
like really bad enough that it’s making him very dizzy and puking etc
and I am all alone with red and I have to take care of him;
make his food, help him with homework, take care of my dog and make sure she’s okay, and I feel so overwhelmed and scared and I need a truckload of hugs guys please D:
Oops sorry it’s me willa
Oh my gosh, Willa! I’m so sorry, that’s really scary :c I’m sure your dad is going to be just fine <3 I don't really have much advice, I'm sorry. I hope he's okay and everything goes alright with Red and Lucy. *Huggles*
Thank you so much, Icy! <3 -huggles-
My dad had to go to the hospital again but he's doing okay atm. Thanks for being so sweet on chat before. <3 <3
I’m glad he’s doing okay. I hope he keeps getting better. I’m sending all of my love and hugs and cookies and blankets and anything else comforting to your family <3
Thank you so much Icy you’re so sweet <3 <3 <3
He is slowly getting better, he can walk around a little bit without getting super dizzy, which i a good thing. 😀
Willa, I saw you on chat earlier and I told you this there but everything will be okay. I’m sure your dad will be fine and I’m sorry *huggles* I’m on chat if you need to talk. <3 <3

Oh geez, Willa, I’m so sorry! *huggles* I hope he gets better! <3 <3

He is slowly getting better, he was able to walk downstairs without my mom's help, which is a good thing because that means the dizzyness is going away slightly. 🙂
Huggles!
<3
Oh, I’m so sorry! Dumps huge truckloads of hugs, cookies, and Pusheen the Cats.
Okay, so, BlogClan isn’t letting me post all of my rant on here, so I’ll do bit by bit. Well, my friend came over last night, let’s call him Ryepaw. We have a dog named Poky, and he is very protective of our family. We have a rule that even if Poky is acting friendly, never, NEVER get close to him, do anything involving food with him, or put your face by his. He was born in our basement, we’ve know him ever since he was in the womb (WOW Saskia, what a weird sentence). As a result, he’s very close to us and doesn’t trust anyone else, and most people don’t listen to us when we tell them that. He has bitten someone before, let’s call her Thornpaw. Thornpaw stole some of his food, got down on the floor with him, and put her arm around him. You can guess what happened next. So we established some rules. Anyway, Ryepaw came over and he’s been doing so for years, and Poky didn’t bark at him. He thought they were best buds. Never think that about Poky. A few minutes later, me, him, and my sister went downstairs to watch Captain Blood. Ryepaw brought down a bowl of chips that we gave him. Poky jumped up on the couch with my sister. As I was putting the DVD in, I heard aggressive barking, and turned around to see my sister holding Poky back and Ryepaw was inching away to the side of the couch, farthest away from Poky. Ryepaw is sensitive, he had tears in his eyes but didn’t cry. My sister got upset and went upstairs with Poky. My Mom and I sat next to him and offered him ice cream and asked if he wanted to go home.
Oh no, that must be terrible! I’ve also had issues with my dog and other people, and for now whenever someone comes over, maybe try to keep them and Poky separate. I hope it gets better soon *huggles*
Thank you.
Oh no! *hugs* I hope things clear up soon.
Oh no! *hug*
Yikes! Maybe keep Poky away from guests and try and train him? I have no experience in that field, sorry 🙁 *huggles*
Me just looking at old hug page me know its long ago but…
*Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* sorry baby Snowy that must be awful!!! I hope your friend was ok and so was your doggie
Soooo
My mom had a hernia operation yesterday.
I really need some hugs for her.
*Infinite hugs* I hope she gets better!
*huggles tightly*
I’m sure she’s going to be just fine. <3 Give her a hug for me if possible. 🙂
*huggles* I have no idea what that is but I hope she has a quick recovery 🙂
A hernia is something with the stomach, I believe.
I’m having a bad morning… Bear hugs, anyone?
Awww, what’s wrong, Mistpaw? *infinite hugs*
Aww :c I hope the rest of the day is better. 🙂 *Hugs* Tomorrow will be better, I’m sure. Just hang in there. 🙂 Until then, have a kitten and some ducks 😉
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/76/da/af/76daaf71c4f8fbff480285dba2c34458.jpg
I hope you have a better afternoon! *BEAR HUGS A MILLION TIMES*
Awww! :c
I hope the rest of your day gets better, bad days suck. :c
If you ever need to rant, you can talk to me. 😀
*huggles* I hope everything gets better 🙂 we’re always here if you want to talk about it!
Next part of my rant: He didn’t want either. He said that he was doing nothing, and Poky barked at him and bit him. Poky did not bite him. I turned around fast enough to see if that happened. So he was lying. I bet he knows what he did was wrong, since we told him not to do that a week ago.
Aw, Snowy, that sucks. *Huggles* I had a cat who acted like that once. He bit and scratched a lot of people. What we did was put him in my parents’ room with food and water and kept the litterbox in there while guests were over. Maybe you could try something like that?
Also, try talking to your friend. Make sure he knows not to mess with Poky.
Thank you. 🙂
Aw, I’m sorry. He probably just feels bad and embarrassed. The best thing you can do is leave it alone. *huggles*
Aww sorry Snowy! That’s horrible! *Huggles*
No need to be sorry, it happened a while ago! I appreciate it though <3
This isn’t a big problem, but I’m really upset right now.
In Concert Band we have a piece called Moon River that has a huge solo. It’s not written into the music, it’s a whole separate part, and it’s for alto (me), clarinet, french horn, trumpet, and voice. It’s huge and I want it really bad. I haven’t had a chance to play it in band since the very first day since I just never got picked until today, and today was just my band teacher going through all the people who wanted to do solos, and we didn’t even go through the whole piece. I hadn’t played it with the band, just by myself in practice, and it completely messed me up. I didn’t do completely horrible, but I could do so much better and everyone else was better and it was really bad and I’m freaking out since that might have been actual auditions.
Three problems with no comments? Look’s like I hit the jackpot 😀
Oh nuuu!! I’m so sorry Wavesplash, i can see that you want this part really bad. I’m sure you didn’t do awful (trust me). Maybe you could ask your band if you could practise with them? Don’t worry about it, even if you don’t get it it can’t possibly ruin your life, right? *huggles*.
https://easternseastar21.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/be-happy6.jpg
Well, uh, my band is big. Like really big. Like, 90 people. Thanks anyway though ^^
My band has over 100 AHHH!
Guys, my friend just texted me and told me her stepdad died. She wasn’t at school today because of it. I’m not sure really what to do for her. Do any of you know what I should do?
I’m sorry for your friends loss Silvey (can i call you that?). The exact same thing happened to my friend, only it was his REAL dad. I think you should confort her but when she comes in don’t ask “are you okay?” because she likely wouldn’t want to talk about it but don’t all out ignore it and talk normally. My friend lost his dad and he seem’s fine now, but i don’t like to bring it up. *huggles*
I’m so sorry for your friend. Just try to be there as for her as much as possible and do what she wants to do. If she wants to be left alone, leave her alone. If she wants someone to just hold her while she cries, do. *huggles for your friend*
I’m sorry for your friend’s loss. Please give your friend some hugs for me.
Oh no Silver!!! I’m so sorry for your friend! *Huggles for you and for her* 🍪🍪🍪🍪
I’m so sorry! Give lots of hugs to your friend! Just be there for her, if she wants to talk about it listen, and if she doesn’t don’t bring it up. *huggles*
Give her a gigantic hug. I’m sorry for her loss!
OMG thats terrible! I think you should try to be your normal self, and if she brings up that her stepdad died, try to comfort her! Hope this helps! 😛 😛 😛 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Oh no, I’m so sorry for her loss. 🙁 I think the best thing you can do as a friend is to sit with and let her know that no matter what you’ll be there for her and she can rely on you, but if she doesn’t want to discuss it, that’s okay too. *huggles* <3 <3 <3
Oh no! Try to comfort your friend but don’t press her about it. I hope she feels better soon *huggles*
huggles! Its really hard losing a love one. Send support to your friend and try to comfort her as much as possible.
sorry for being gone so long, been since the first of january or so, maybe mid january. so in reality not that long… well anyway I came to the hug page cause i feel well terrible. first off though i left for a while because i got bored of waiting for a comment to post, which it never did. it was on the hug page and i guess it was too depressing… he he… now for how i feel…
for the past two weeks i have been getting a lot worse. i have wanted to die six times already, and i have a bad feeling that tonight will be the seventh. the only reason i have kept fighting is my friends and family and all of my online friends too. all of you guys who have ever cared about me, even just a little bit. i wish i knew what was wrong and that i could talk to someone in real life and hug them and just cry.
i don’t know honestly how much longer i can hold out.
Daisy, I just have a question: do you want to kill yourself? And you don’t know why? life not going to well for you?
Did you know that most people will have thoughts of suicide at some point in their lives? It doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you (although it might be symptomatic of a mental health condition). It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or that you’re not worthy. It means you’re human. And it means that you’re in a situation that you want out of.
Human beings love good feelings like love, joy, enthusiasm and motivation. We also love having good thoughts like “I’m so happy” or “What an awesome day”. But we hate feeling bad. We hate boredom, anger, sadness. We hate it when we experience bad thoughts in our heads.
If you’re feeling like killing yourself, it’s most likely because you’re in an awful situation that you want out of. And that’s okay, I mean, who wouldn’t want to get away from feeling terrible? The only issue is, when you’re thinking about ending your life you’re experiencing extremes of thought and feeling, and no one makes decent decisions when they’re under that amount of pressure.
When I’ve felt like killing myself I always thought about my Mum. Imaging what this act would do to her always made me feel so guilty that I would never take it any further.
If you think that no one will care, that is just a sign that you are not thinking clearly and it’s not a good time to make any decisions.
When it comes to suicide people always care. Even if you think they don’t. Even if you think there’s no one out there who loves you or cares about you, there is. It might be your parents, a friend, a lover, or even an acquaintance. But when someone attempts or completes a suicide there is always at least one person (usually more) who says “I wish I could have done something”.
Remember Killing yourself does not end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the chances of it ever getting better. We all care about you on BlogClan. *Huggles super tight*
I know that people care. And I am thinking clearly. It’s not like I’m in some horrible situation either. It’s all from me. I’m the problem. I fall into the same patterns, ignoring how I feel and only helping other people, trying to communicate when I just end up saying I’m fine, etc. Some things I probably just can’t really say on BlogClan cause last time I tried and it wouldn’t post, probabbly a bit too dark for the site.. :/
Daisy, don’t bottle up all these negative feelings. Maybe you don’t want to ‘impose’ on someone, but you’re not. Your friends, your family, they want to help you. Talk to someone. When you begin to feel like this, find someone you can vent to. I’m not saying to turn your friends into your therapists, but you can share stuff with them sometimes. Tell your parents. Talk to your counselor. Find someone.
Remember, you aren’t a problem. You are worth so much, you are so precious. Sure, you’re in a bad place right, but you’re going to get better. You already are a great person, but you’ll become even better as time goes on. You can’t change any habits or patterns once you’ve killed yourself, but you can if you continue living.
*huggles* You are so, so loved, Daisy. Never forget that. Maybe it seems too dark for here, but if you ever need to talk, PM me on the wiki. I’m here if you need me, or need to vent.
Thank you.. *hugs you*
I promise you there is someone that really wants you on this earth. No mater if its a parent, friend, peer there will be someone who would be really sad if you left them and they didn’t do anything. Your parents probably really care about you, and if you have anymore suicidal thoughts you should turn to them. You are really important, and the first step to healing a problem is admitting you have one. Think of all the happiness your going to go through if you and try to let that motivate you to stay with your friends and family.
Huggles!
*hugs* I hope things get better, Daisypaw. Maybe you should talk to your parents? Therapy might help.
I kinda wish I could go to therapy. :/
And idk how to tell anyone… maybe gonna tell my friend…. idk yet
Oh Daisy!!! *huggles* please don’t leave us! Try talking to someone about it, they can really help. No one wants you to leave, please Dasiy we need you!
I won’t leave you guys
*huggles* thank you, we love you!
You can talk to someone in real life. It might be hard, but it’s the best thing you can do. You’re wonderful and don’t deserve to die. Please get help. *huggles*
I will try to tell my friend. I think she would tell and I don’t know what I would do, though.
If she tells, that’s okay as long as she tells an adult, right? They can help you. 🙂
Daisypaw I’m really sorry, but you can always talk here, and I’ll try to respond. Please don’t think you have to keep this all to yourself. It’s not your fault for feeling this way, but I would recommend speaking to an adult about it. They might be able to help you a lot, too. *hugs*
Yeah I might try… idk how to tell though, and I don’t think I would be able to talk to them of I told them for a while… :/
Oh, Daisypaw! We’ve all had those thoughts at some point. But, really, think. Do you REALLY want to die?? I mean, there has to be at least something worth living for! When I get these thoughts, I just try to find something good that happened that day. (I know this is really, really, hard, but something like ‘I like that today was sunny.’ or ‘I liked that today someone waved to me in the hall, and said hi.’) Itty bitty things can sometimes add up to really big things. 🙂 🙂 P.S. Here are some quotes. I really like to look at quotes when I feel desperate, and depressed.

Thanks Leafsong
I love the little things cause they make me happier, but still, it always just comes back..
Daisy, I wish I could take all of your pain from you and just hug you forever. You sound like you are hurting so much right now and I am so sorry that I can’t fix that. Whenever that intense pain starts to come out and you feel like you want to give up, think about your best friend. Think about your family. Think about the people that love and adore you and, like me, would want to take that pain away from you so badly. If you want someone to hug you and let you cry, try telling someone. Start with maybe your mom, your dad, one of your friends. I know someone who told me something. Imagine you have a cup with water in it. Every time something happens that causes you sadness, anxiety, or stress, the cup fills up a little bit more. Eventually, the water has to spill out of the cup. Some people have smaller cups and some people have big cups. When you are feeling this intense sadness that makes you want to hurt yourself, to give up, that is the water spilling out of the cup. I will always try to be here for you. If you ever need to talk, I’m always here. One thing I need you to do is to tell someone. At least one person that you trust in real life. BlogClan loves you. <3
Thanks. I always do think of that stuff. But it can get harder when those people you wanna live for have left. 🙁
And I dunno who I can trust. I don’t wanna change anything, and of i told my friends I don’t think they could handle it. And they would tell everyone…
Try telling a family member that you trust. They may be able to help you with therapy and it seems like you need someone to talk to when you’re feeling down. Please, tell someone. <3
That must be terrible! Let me ask you: Have you been experiencing strange feelings lately? Have you ever considered intentionally harming yourself? If so, why? People always care about you, and they would be devastated if you harmed yourself. We would be devastated if you harmed yourself. Considering these types of things usually means you’re under extreme pressure, stress, or depression. If you’re experiencing any of these three, then talk to someone you care about. Let it all flow out. The worst thing you can do is keep it bottled up. Just know that we all care about you very much, and I hope you feel better soon *huggles*
Hey, I realized who I was today. Sort of. Let me explain, and you’ll find that my words don’t make sense. I . . . I probably told you guys this before, but I am a stereotypical female. I like pink, glitter, flowers, and I’m sweet, weak, and sensitive. Although, I’m kind of tomboyish too. Really though, I cry really easily, and I hate to do so. Which again, you may know. Guh. I wish I could become tough, standing up for myself, and being confident and impressive. I had throat surgery, and a tumor growth, and I couldn’t breathe . . . I have a scar on my throat from that . . . and that, I feel like, has some part to which why this is all happening. I really don’t know, but I get so anxious. And so many people are breaking stereotypes now, and I feel like the definition of one. How can I learn to love my shy, sensitive self?
*hugs* It’s always okay to be who you are, no matter what that is. (I love glitter too, btw 🙂 And sparkles)
Thank you!
Oh my, I’m so sorry about the surgery, but hey, I have a scar on my throats from surgery too, so now I guess we’re buddies! 😛 anyway, glitter is amazing, unless it gets in your eye, but I could just spend the whole day running around throwing glitter! i can be shy and sensitive sometimes, I guess you can just say something like-‘ this is me, I am me, I may be shy and sensitive, but I am a great person, I am a kind person, I am a strong person, I am me’
Aw, thank you! I will say that. Buddies! What happened to your throat?
When I was little I had Graves’ disease, and something else, which name I forgot, both at the same time, and I had to have a thymectomy, and visit a lot of hospitals, the scar is from the thymectomy.
Ooh. Glad you’re alright.
Kind doesn’t mean weak. Pink doesn’t mean ditzy, or stupid, or affected. Flowers are gorgeous. And glitter is the epitome of mankind. Don’t listen to someone who uses ‘feminine’ or ‘girly’ as an insult. Carry yourself with elegance. Who cares about stereotypes? Stereotypes aren’t real. They only exist to categorize and constrict people. Don’t feel guilty for being who you are. Go wear that dress and be nice. Don’t allow anyone to make you feel bad for who you are.
Thank you so much Cypress! (Can I call you that?) I don’t know what to say . . . . Thank you!
Be who you are Breeze! So what if you like glitter, which is amazing, and flowers, which are pretty? My cousin is trans, mtf, and he still likes earings and some “girly” stuff. I still love him! And you my friend are still awesome. <3
Thank you! 🙂
It’s okay to be a stereotype if that’s who you are, just don’t let it define you. There’s nothing wrong with being a shy, sensitive girl. Just be who you are and don’t stick to anything. *huggles*
Thank you so much! <3
I honestly hate stereotypes. I mean, if you like glitter, flowers, and pink, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Crying isn’t limited to “stereotypical” people either. Everyone cries, it’s a natural thing to do when we’re sad, angry, frustrated, stressed, worried, hurt, or even happy. So what if you’re sensitive, or are not the strongest person around. It doesn’t change you on the inside. Your personality is what counts, not what you look like, your interests, or emotions. Whatever people say, you are you. That’s what your friends and family care about. That’s what we care about.
Aw, thank you so much! <3 <3 Thank you!
I’m sorry you had to get surgery, and I hope you feel better soon! It’s okay to be who you are. I mean, who doesn’t love glitter? I tossed glitter all over my garage, because it’s amazing! Pink? I have pink cat ears. The only reason these ‘stereotypes’ are being broken is because people aren’t afraid of who they are- you can’t run from yourself. After all, if every girl was walking around as a ‘tomboy,’ wouldn’t that become the norm? That’d be the ‘stereotype’ ( that every female is a ‘tomboy’), and you’d end up contributing to it if you changed yourself.
You have to be proud of who you are. Sweet, sensitive, pink-loving, glitter-throwing girls are cute and lovable and fun to be around, just as much as ‘tomboys’. If you be who you are, you’re breaking bounderies just as much as any girl not afraid to show she’s not as ‘feminane’, because you’re declaring to the world there’s no shame in who you are and you’re not afraid to hide it. Kindness isn’t weakness, it never will be. *huggles*
Oh my, thank you so much! That’s great to know. <3 <3
My cat is really sick! Yesterday, he went unconscious, and I took him to the vet, and they said the disease was unknown. I’m crying a lot now… He tried to stand up but collapsed. He won’t EaT or drink. He was my best friend….
When he was born, he chose me over his mother. He sleeps with me every night, and he listens to me, he’s my best friend, and I don’t want to lose him!
He’s really sick…. I’m scared and sad. I randomly break out crying to death..
I love him!
Oh Jayflight. I’m so sorry. Having recently lost Miu Miu, I know what you are going through. It’s ok to grieve. Our pets are part of our family. I just hope the your cat recovers. Please let us know.
Thanks.
🙁 I’m so sorry, I really hope he gets better. *hugs* Is he staying with the vet right now, or is he with you? We can talk if you ever want to, Snowheart.
(Are you Jayflight now, or still Snowheart?)
he’s with me….
At this point, you can call me either.
AWWW!!! I’m so sorry about that!!!!!*BIG HUGGELS*

So cute <3 and thanks 🙂
I’m so sorry! I hope he gets better soon. <3
Oh gosh! I am so sorry! Spend time with him and make sure he’s comfortable and happy, at least. I hope he gets better soon. *huggles*
Very, very sorry to hear that. I lost one of my cats back in December, and if the worst happens, at least you know he’s had a fantastic life with you and you’ve been able to enjoy each other’s company. Try to think of those positives and remember your memories with happiness. 🙂 You’ve got my best wishes, and I hope he’ll recover soon.
Thank you 🙂
No problem. You’re very welcome. 🙂
Oh no! Just try and make sure your cat is comfortable. Where is he right now? I hope your cat gets better soon! *huggles*
He’s on my bed… Like he’s been on for the past 3 days..
Oh, geez, Jayflight, I’m sorry! *huggles* My cat had an illness like that once. Make sure you spend as much time with him showing him how much you love him. Also, make sure he’s eating and drinking, he needs that to keep up his strength. I hope he feels better soon! <3
Eek! I haven’t been active on the hug page at ALL!!! I’m so sorry guys, I have been super busy with troubles of my own, but everything’s okay now.
For all of you feeling down, don’t give up. Don’t you dare. <3 Everything is going to be okay in the end <3 <3 <3 <3
Ily all and remember that I'm here for you guys <3
Welp, time to be on the hug page again. I’m just going to jump into it. I feel weird. I can’t put my finger on it. Is it mental or physical? I want to be independent, but I get so scared when I’m away from my parents. My Mom went away for a little while, she still is gone as I’m typing this, and I am so nervous and trying not to cry. And I still don’t know why, and I can’t talk to my Dad about this kind of stuff, he doesn’t believe in the things I do, which is why I want to talk to my Mom all the time. I have also been more angry than usual. I yelled at my Mom to get me a drink this morning, when she didn’t do anything, and the next moment, I wanted to cry and say sorry again and again. On and off, mood swings each second – I used to think, “How could that possibly happen?” But it can, it can, and it’s been happening to me and I – I
I don’t know what to do. I’m so immature. My Dad wants to do something fun with me today, and I’m trying to pull myself together –
GAH, I’M SO CLOSE TO CRYING AS I TYPE THIS.
I also feel bored, my day is just Go to school, go home, sleep. The weekend is my time to DO something, and after that, it goes back to the same thing again. Just like my mood swings. I feel like a clock, just sitting there all day, tick tock tick tock worried angry sad worried angry sad trying not to cry I’m fine
Did I mention that I repeat myself when I get stressed? Well, now you know. So, I don’t know what to do. GUHHUGHU, there I go again, I repeated myself!
Any help I will be thankful for.
*hugs* I don’t really know anything could help you. Maybe try talking to your parents, maybe go to therapy? Sorry, that was probably terrible. I hope things get better.
Haha, thanks anyway! <3
Oh no, that must be terrible! Mood swings are natural, though. We all experience them. And if you’re ever bored, use your imagination! Draw! Read! Write! Find something to do that will put a little fun into your day 🙂 *huggles*
Thank you!
*huggles* It sounds like mood swings. They’re very natural. There’s not much you can do to help yourself, but when you feel yourself getting upset try to calm down and take deep breaths. Talk to your parents so they understand this is what’s happening. 🙂
Thank you.
Snowy, I’m sorry you’re hurting!! *huggles* I get what it’s like to feel like you can’t control your emotions, I’ve been dealing with that problem lately. First, understand mood swings are just another thing in the life of a horomonal teenager’s life. Even if they suck. Another thing you can do is talk to the school counseler. I know, I know, most people shy away from that kind of thing. I did too. But it turns out, school counselers are that bad. First, unless you’re hurting yourself or others or plan to do so, they won’t tell anyone if you request them not to. Talking to them feels good (because they just kinda let you scream at them and cry your problems for an hour, and venting is good) and they usually have a bit of solid advice. It’s okay to have phobias (I’m afraid of being alone too), just try not to let them consume you. I hope it get’s better!
Thank you, I will try it!
