Answer 1

Tell your counselor

I really don’t want to, then she’d tell my mom and it’d become a big scene-

Answer 2

Sometimes I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel.... Like, well maybe you can guess..

But I always think about how sad my friends and family would be if I did it. Maybe think about how amazing you are, and how much everybody would miss you. And, please, please, please, don't give in to the impulsive/intrusive thoughts. If you did.. You'd regret it later, I'm positive.

Answer 3

Sloth, calm down.

You're having an episode, I don't know what kind, but it's going to pass and you're going to feel better.

Please just take deep breaths and calm down, maybe close your eyes and think of really good things, like your crush.

Deep breath in...

...

Deep breath out...

...

Good thoughts...

....

You're going to be okay.

I promise.

You trust me, right?

I trust you.

I did this last night and I feel less like this now…

Thank you, Nobi.

You literally shouldn't thank me; I would do anything to help :]

Answer 4

This is not like you to vent, so I’m gonna try hard to help.

I’m gonna be honest, I deal with the same situation but with different stuff.

What do I do?

I watch the biggest gigachad thing I can.

It sounds dumb, but I do it.

With your situation, here’s what I’d do.

1: Deep breaths. In and out 5 times.

2: drink some water.

3: lay down.

4: rest for a minute.

5: do something else you enjoy for an hour.

I hope this helps.

Sorry Sloth :(

The “rest for a minute” turned into a full on sleep-

Thank you, GC, this helped a lot.
