I know how you feel… Well sort of. I actually feel like I am in the shadow of some of my friends at school. i mean I’m smart, I’m one of the best students, but there are people smarter than me and they makes me feel.. stupid. People tell me that I’m lucky because I used to have a and now I have a 4.0 but now I have a 3.8 & that makes me feel bad. My mom often tells me that I don’t do anything. The thing is, My brother who is 2 years older has done bad in school, like failing bad, & yet he’s “better”. I know how you feel. SI used to take over my life, but I found the strength to get over it. I told some friends, who often reminded me how much they loved me and cared for me and that I could call them rather than do that. I even told my mom. As for the counselor thing, i think it would be a good idea to tell your counselor. Just tell them that you don’t want to have your parents involved because you don’t want to hurt them. that you want this to be private. If you need to talk email me, hernandez.cinthya94@hotmail.com
i know exactly how you feel… i started SIing aout 3 years and i never told anyone about it until this year. this year my parents found out about my SI and they really freaked out and yelled andgrounded me but there was only one person that i knew that i could talk to and that was my schol counselor. over the past few years that i have been going to my school we became close and i an soo glad that i had and sill have her.she tought me some things to do when i feel like SIing and they can really work. she would do work book pages with me about SI and she and i worked on a thing called a comfort kit.if you do decide to tell your school counselor she will tell yor parents but telling my parents was the best thing that i ever did because they got me into counseling and i am working on the things that cause my SI… so if you ever want to talk about anything you can e-mail me at baby_jane_90@yahoo.com
thaks for the advice
the thing is i SI because of my parents and they dont even realize it
i might tell my best friend but im scared how she will react
