I had a meeting with my head of house
( IN our school we are all put in a house including teacher, each house has a deputy house head and a house head the house heads talk to student in their house about bully, behaviour and personal stuff etc)
We talked about how I was in a depression again... I had to show her my SH and talked about how it doesnt make me feel any better when people quiz me and force me to tell them what is wrong. We also talked about how in our year ( yr 10 ) it seems to be a culture that other students solve someones problem or at least try to and how this was adding pressure to those that suffer with depression , SH and EDs to quickly get better. We also talked about how I am daily approached by people for advice and surport and how even though I didnt mind helping people in fact I love it but when it is everyday and when the surport is always coming from me and no one ever asks / helps me then it becomes hard, triggering and more pressure put on me.
Another point brought up is how if I am having a down day or if I SH and not eat healthily then by friends, teacher that know etc it isnt a concern it is just thorght of a who I am I am the depressed self harmer with eating issues and how this fact ahd to be changed as although I am not at risk of commting suicide I could have an accident with my SH and could die as a result from such an accident. We talked about such things for half an hour and I got alot offf my chest.
The result of this meeting was that my house head told me to talk to her about issues and no- one else ( meaing friends) To go to her if I have an urge in school etc.
She is also going to keep in contact with my teacher to check that things arent getting out of hand in lessons ( I muck around or am really quiet as a way of distracting myself.)
And she is going to talk to form group girks and my friends to tell them not to question me and let me have my space if and when I have my down days/ weeks/ months. Not to totally suclude me but just to let me have my time so that I can get through the depression without coming out of it having fallen out or anoid people.
This helped me alot and now I know that I can do something and that everyone knows how to react when I have a depression.
