Hi. I made a new account just to seek for this advice because I don't know who to turn to. I'm not sure if this is the right section either.

First of all, I'm a girl and I'm in my last year of high school. I don't know... I just feel like I have too many problems-- when in reality, they are just piled up 'tiny' problems that wouldn't bother anyone else. I was always able to ignore them before but somehow they all seem to be piling up and the pile is getting bigger and bigger. I don't really want to state any of my problems.

I was sick and depressed last week so I stayed home for 5 days of school. Yeah. A whole week. I went on the fourth day, but my first class teacher sent me home because my body felt really painful but that was my own fault. And I skipped today and today is monday.

I don't know how it happened but I started to think about committing suicide. I know its the wrong thing to think about but I can't help it.

I tried swallowing over 10 pills because on the bottle it said over 8 taken in a day was hazardous. Haha. Anyways, I'm still alive so I guess that's good.

Perhaps, I started thinking more about suicide because someone I knew when I was younger successfully committed suicide? It was a friend's only parent that committed suicide by the way. The parent was really pretty and nice. Even though I was ten, I understood why she would commit suicide. There were lots of problems in her life and being a single parent was hard.

But yeah. Anyways. My problem is the school principle called my mom and said that I stayed home for too long and have to go see him tomorrow morning. I don't know what to explain or to say to him. I wasn't really sick I guess even though I slept a lot, like 2/3 of every day consisted of sleep. I hope I'm not getting kicked out of school though. But yeah, 6 days absence is quite a lot... I still don't know what to say to him though.

Any advice?



edit: I am okay. The suicide thing was when I was pmsing and emotional. Anyways. I just want advice on what I should tell to my school principle. I "do" want to finish my last year of high school after all~

Just tell him the truth.

Just tell him the truth.

The truth will set you free.

Even if you may or may not be punished for the long absences, this is just one step in proceeding to getting your head cleared up.


I hope this helped. xD If not, I'm sorry. ;;

[Meenuh]

Just tell him the truth.

agreed.

also, if being on your period makes you feel that way and has THAT much of an impact on you .. i suggest you go seek a doctor. they may be able to give you something to balance your hormones.

Depression perhaps? You should see a psychologist not on soompi unless someone is a profession with explaining emotions.
Anyways I hope you cheer up and whatever it is thats putting you into this depressing situation I hope it get resolved. Find the true you and once again be happy. This is your last year and maybe your getting really emotional. If friends bother you, HEY you only have 7-8 months to live through that shiet.

if you were depressed...you were depressed. depression has become a HUGE problem these days..especially in youth. he may ask you to think about seeing someone, ask your mother to make sure you see someone, have to speak to the school counselors...etc.

either way, just tell the truth. i went through 10th grade being seemingly normal but was utterly depressed and almost failed out but my principal asked me to see the counselor, she asked some questions and sent me home. next day i was pulled aside by my teachers who told me they're not sure why but since we only had a few days left, the principal said my grade on the final exam would be my grade for the class. and they gave me extensive study guides. i passed. 0___0

i mean sure...in some places school officials are just not into your problems. but if the principal himself called your home, i'm pretty sure those at your school care. so just tell them what's up and that you're willing to do what's needed to make sure you graduate. just try it.

I'm not going to jump to conclusion that you're suffering from depression, just yet. But my friend had the same problem. When you look at him, he was all fine and happy. But one day, we found out that he tried to suicide. He doesn't really know why either; he just felt like he was really depress and just wanted to die. No break up with girlfriend, no bad life, no bad grade or anything. Turn out he was suffering from depression, and yeah... they gave him some pills and some session. And now, he seem to be the happiest person in this world. Have a wife, have a kid, so yeah.

I think that when you tried to take your life away, there's a serious red flag. It's not just pms anymore, and if that is how your pms have an affect on you; I suggest getting some help. Who knows what will happen next time... you might not be as lucky.

And if I were you, I would tell your principle the truth. I skipped for about a week when I was in school, because I was soooo stress out over boyfriend, family, friends. And my principle was very understanding. He just told me that everyone have those days, but I shouldn't let it affect my academics. He actually let me take an extra day off to clear off any issue I'm having, so that I can go to school prepared.

Ohhh I've been down that road once and let me tell you it ain't pretty. I really wanted to die and I wished I was never born. My communication with other people were really bad..I started to draw any from people..but ONE DAy...one magical day...I burst out of my little bubble and told my family the truth...it was the hardest and happiest moment of my life! [besides getting born ]

yu noe, i'm glad that yu realized that yu have a problem.
and yu noe what they say, "the first step in solving yur problem is first realizing you have a problem." or something along that line.
now that we got the first step out of the way,
yu have to realize that yu NEED to seek prof. help.
depression is a serious illness and yu noe, yu're not alone!
there is millions and millions of people living with depression and yu noe what?! they are still alive.
they are alive because they realized the problem and seeked help.
suicide is not the answer.

put yurself together.
understand that yu are not alone and someone out there is able to help yu!!!!!

Thankyou everyone. I think I'll just tell the principle the truth tomorrow. I don't really know how to word it the best way it can be but I'll try my best. >_<

are you sure you're really ok now? from what you've posted it sounds like depression. a lot of people have depression but don't know it. depression is sometimes constant and sometimes it comes and goes. neways, the most important is that you should really make sure you understand what's going on with yourself and your body.

[edit]
i'm glad you are going to tell the truth. even if it's uncomfortable, he/she will more understanding.
