I started this channel as a way to spread awareness regarding different struggles that we all may face. Mental health is a very important aspect of life that many people often forget to prioritize and pay attention to. I hope that my account gives you the safe space to feel seen and heard. My only wish is that my videos and my life story inspire other people around the world to keep fighting and healing in life.
I post the videos I do not because I'm still struggling but because I know other people currently still are. You are not alone. I also don't ask for sympathy or pity regarding certain stories of my life because those occurrences brought me where I am today. I've come to a point in my life where I have accepted what has happened to me and have peace with where it has brought me.
I hope that my journey/content impacts you in a positive way. Let's heal together! ❤️🩹
(p.s. feel free to follow me on other platforms too! 😊)
We all think we can trust the counselors with stuff that we don't want to tell our parents but they just go and betray you and tell your parents everything you don't want them to know so the life lesson is that DONT TELL YOUR PROBLEMS TO PEOPLE LEEP THEM TO YOURSELF AND NEVER LET OTHERS KNOW THEM lol
I was a mandated reporter but there was a lot I didn’t report because the best-case scenario was that the situation would be taken seriously and they would be put into the system. I had kids in the system. They were being heavily medicated because no one knew the kids well enough to understand their PTSD. The kids were taken from toxic people who loved them and given to toxic people who wanted money to take care of them. They were sexually abused by adults and other kids. They were separated from their siblings. Bounced from family to family, they transported what few personal items they had in trash bags each time they went somewhere new. Sometimes they would have a good family but that was usually temporary, and that seemed to hurt more. I taught my students how to identify abusers, play nice with them, stay out of their way, and stay silent. We practiced using abusive staff. They could be silly as could be with me but as soon as Ms. Tyla walked in the door, they better be all business or *I* was the one who was going to be angry. Act right around Ms. Tyla and you get candy and a sticker. Act wrong around her and not only are you going to be emotionally abused by her, but I’m gonna make you sit out of recess for 10 minutes too because you are crazy if you don’t think we’re gonna talk about how goddamn stupid it is for you to act a fool around someone looking for an excuse to be angry and right. Only two ways to break the cycle of abuse: (1) learn your triggers and how to cope with them and (2) learn to identify abusers and always remain polite with them but never get friendly.

I remember i went into school and had told my teacher that my brother had beat me the day before and they called home to tell my mum thst the police would get involved so my brother started threatening me and trying to hurt me again so i had to leave the house and stay with a friend. I still to this day have never told anyone about what was happening at home again. I was 13 and he was 18 at that point. He had also hurt me before, and I still live at home as I'm not old enough to even get a job in my country. He still hurts me sometimes, but not as often. He is also verbaly abusive. He is very racist,homophonic and very veryyyyy sexist. I just can't wait until I can get a job and leave this house.
My guidance counselor also reported, my abuse, then I got abused some more because I told someone I was being abused at home. Man when you're a kid sometimes adults suck!
As an (almost) counselor (two more months!!) I always try to discuss this with my minor clients pretty much in the first session, as well as what their parents can access. Yes, parents can access your therapy notes if they want to, because that is their right under the law. However, i, as a counselor explicitly discourage parents from doing this. When i talk to them i discuss their concerns but don't disclose what is said in sessions. As far as abuse, suicidal ideation, and self harm goes, we are mandated to report this and it is our ethical duty to try and prevent you from being harmed. It's also our ethical duty to provide you with informed consent as much as we can. I always tell people that i will consult with you about how you want to have this shared if you do share it. We also are supposed to consider if reporting will put you in harms way at home. But yes, go in knowing this.
i went to online school for 3 years and one year i tried a private school, i wasn't in a good mental state, i didn't even make it one full year there, the counselor was convinced i was suicidal and talked to the other teachers about me often, i was the main attention there and i hated it, the counselor talked to me on many occasion but i just never opened up i would just shut down. he talked to me about taking anti-depressants and hes not the only one. i had 2 friends there one had to leave cause she was moving, the other one said something and we got the cops called on us, but only she got kicked out. i was alone at the school, the teacher who i miss very much was so sweet the only one i liked could tell i was upset cause of my friends leaving, she talked to me and i had a melt down i actually opened up to her and she even got me to tell her i thought about hurting myself and i did. a bunch of stuff happened that school year and i cant say it all cause iv aready ranted so much, the main point for me it now i have get scared of people who remind me of the couselor, cause he scared me, he caused me to have a panick attach in the middle of class and didnt even do anything about it, nobody did, they just made it worse
This is exactly why I don’t go to anyone about my family now. I’ve also dealt with cops and cps so many times they were never there when I needed them. 15 now but once I’m 18..
I took three days off school for my grandmother’s funeral/wake when I got back the guidance counselor called me into her office to discuss my situation. I wanted no attention/think about it so I didn’t tell anyone at school, but I thought she was “safe” to discuss confidential stuff.. She sent an email telling every teacher I had, explaining my grandmother died.. Needless to say, It was harder on me than it needed to be 😅
Its ok to miss them, grandma is being gone 11 years, auntie 9, great auntie 7 and my baby who was only 2 months in my belly is being cared by those angels. Their love has not disappeared, it is still here❤
That's not all, my mother doesn't even think that his behaviour is wrong. She really thinks that being yelled at for every damned thing is absolutely normal. I SAY, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE NORMAL, BE AS ABNORMAL AS YOU CAN BE!! And you know what's even more surprising?? My mother had the healthiest childhood possible. I don't know where she got this idea.
my school nurse told me i could trust her, so one day, i went to her office for a headache ((i did actually have an headache) and i told her about my trauma and the fact i harmed myself, and she then told me "oh i'm gonna have to tell your mom" and she called her and told her. And had me talk to her after. i was in tears. its not that i was scared of my mom, i was scared that she'd feel she was a terrible mom even tho it wasn't her fault. I never trusted anybody other than my actual friends after that. If you see this girl, i know its been years but fuck you. EDIT : also i had one friend who that happened to, but i didnt know her when it happened she had explained her trauma, and they called her parents, to the point the situation escalated sm she had to go to a mental hospital for a month or two when she wasn't even that unstable
Every professional in my teens life has always stated they will report anything "safeguarding" which led her to not tell them any issues she had "just in case" makingi the therapy pointless
I talked to my school counsellor about what was happening to me at home and she promised not to tell anyone and she didn’t. Some people are good some aren’t.
I lost that one person that you know you should be with. The one where you’d do anything and give up everything to be with them. The one person where you believe they’re your soulmate. I was so happy. And I gave it all up. I don’t know why I did, and now it hurts so much more than I could’ve imagined. I only hope one day we’ll meet again. Somehow, some way, maybe it truly was meant to be. Or maybe not.
Therapists are why I have trust issues. Which is why if I ever get one as an adult, I will not provide any information of "someone to contact if necessary".
When I was 7 the counsellor was make sure everyone was ok she started talking I told her how I felt then she said she had to report this I was crying and said no don’t 😢 but I trust you guys not to tell 😢❤
I’m actually glad that my school counselor is trustworthy. The only problems he will share with my mother is when it involves on how I can go to school without much stress or fatigue. The problems involving my dark thoughts are actually kept secret and I’m glad. I am actually horrified about the school counselors who go and report topics that the student does NOT want to share with their family. I hope everyone will have a great day, or at least a decent time forward. Thanks for reading <333 Remember this, stranger. I love you, wherever or whoever you may be :)
Thank you for this video, Tomorrow I have a important meeting with my counselor at my school. Story 👇 Story: So basically i was just minding my business in class i had a weird feeling in my stomach, Around like 4 minutes later a teacher knocked and asked if i was inside, The substitute said yes, So i walked outside the classroom and she started saying "Hey, I'm Mrs. Mary so I wanted to ask you if you wanted to have a meeting with the counselor and you also have to come to the front office and you can talk to me about whats going on at home, How's your weekend," Also those kinds of questions right so i agreed. After School: "Hey, kiddo" "Hi mom" "I have a report from school.." "What is it?" "So basically i was just sitting in class till some teacher came in the classroom and started talking to and that i have to go a meeting with her and the counselor.." "Dont go" "I have to thats what she said" I had some problems going on at home, I also have ADHD My told me "Whatever you do dont tell her about what is happening at home,Especially about yesterday, I'm sorry dad was mad and all that kind of stuff.." Its ok mom, Don't worry it will be fine! "Remember, Be careful with what what you say and watchout cause they can the police on us." The End UPDATE COMING NEXT 2 WEEKS! Edit: PLS LIKE THIS TOOK 30 MINS😢
My metal heath is slowly being chipped away since im my friends councilor because no-one trusts them but...because of knowing anout someone elses cutting and bad thoughts its hurts me inside....and...i just cant i hate my life but this just makes it worse
My dad died when I was 5 years old he abused me physically and I still feel like it was yesterday I love him so much and would do anything to talk to him again
I tried to run in-front of a car that was speeding yesterday. My friend pulled me out of the road. I’m worried about telling my parents because I’m scared of going to a mental facility. Anybody have some advice?
I remember my younger self wanted to grow up fast only because I wanted to get out of my abusive household and finally have a life of my own. I remember reaching 21 was my ideal age, and now I’m at the age my younger self prayed for. 😭
Same thing happened to me. I told my therapist about it and they called CPS. My mom started screaming about how “she didn’t deserve this” and I was seen as the villain. The worst part was that CPS didn’t even do anything once they came and acted like I was being over dramatic
