I suffer from severer depression and reached out to a teacher i trust but now i have an emotional attatchment?

Question

Last year i tried to kill myself but i kept it to myself for about 3 months until it was just tearing me apart and i needed to talk to someone, my fave teacher had looked out for me before a couple of times when she saw i looked a bit down so i decided to confide in her cos im not close with anyone in my family and had no major friends i trusted to understand. So i told her and she was brilliant with me and really helped me decide what to do in the next couple of weeks. She persuaded me to tell a doctor about my depression but i could not get the courage to say about the attempted suicide, so its still a secret between us although she told the pastrol guideange woman she was worried about me. But since then whenever ive had something bad happen ive talked it thru with her and i just feel stupid cos im 16 and i know i should just get on with it and also i feel sometimes that im a pain to her. ( i only chat with her say once a half term or somethin). Its just i feel i have noone else to talk to and i dont know what to do. Its just like EVEYTIME someone acts like they give a **** i get so attached and stuff ;(

I would be so grateful for ANY help... thanks xx

Answer 1

If you're emotional you need to find a stable influence that you can count on for a time so you can work through your problem.  Things can seem very different sometimes if you're too emotional.  If you think she doesn't want to help you, then you may have guilt feelings that you can work through.  I've also found that you don't want to be better than that if you can't work through it.  You must be seeing at times you have a hope.

We can all do a lot more than we think we can when we're young.  I suggest you stick with your goals work through your emotions patiently and thoroughly.  Understanding yourself will make you learn to understand others too.  Bless you.

Answer 2

she doesnt mind. I bet she feels alsome helping you. and I bet she wouldnt mind if you kept on. It shows her you trust in her, and that really does something to one.
