Hi there,
Well i have a problem, i go to college (UK) and yesterday i run away from college and i took a mini overdose and. I managed to stop myself (ive taken small-medium overdoses in the past) and called childline and they called me an ambulance, anyway while i was waiting for the ambulance, i texted my inclusion mentor from college and told her what happened she then texted me saying she was coming to see me, anyway what do you know 5minutes later she turns up and she reasures me and waits with me for the ambulance. Then when the ambulance turns up she talks to them for me.now the problem i have is i get too attached to people if they are too kind to me and i can feel that happening with her and she wants me to go and see her before and after class and sit in her office at break times what do i do with my feelings towards her?

I feel you must tell yourself, constantly, that this person cares about you, but that she is a professional and you must maintain a professional distance from her emotionally.

I believe that if you know something intellectually, it helps you to know something in your heart.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It's probably hard being away from your family for the first time (if this is true).

Hey,
I'm so sorry you're having a tough time. I hope it gets better for you. In the meantime, just try to keep fighting and stay strong. If you can, you should try and get professional help. I know that's what everyone says and that it seems like a very cliché response, but still, it is generally the best course of action.

Hope everything gets better for you,
Rachel
