confession--confusion--worried
Tue, 09/25/2007 - 05:39Topic: Teen Zone
yesterday i did someting for the first time in my life. i told someone i had epilepsy. this was my peer councelor---dont even know how i got one but thats another story. she asked me what i am doing this weekend. i said going into the hospital for a test (my VEEG) she asked me what for. i took about 10 or 15 minutes for her to get it outta me. i thought it MIGHT make me feel better. but no. i got this horrible sick feeeling in me and started to cry. isnt it that when u tell someone something on your mind your a supposed to feel better? i felt soooo bad after. now i think things will be akward between us because i have known her for three weeks and she knows my biggest secret when mi BFF who i have known for 7 years about has no idea. i am just really confused and dont know what to do anymore.

aww davey its ok. u never know it might be easier now that she knows... might be awkward for a while but it will get better. you will be more able to tell your peer counselor whatever is on your mind. this just means that you are more willing to open up. when you can tell someone the one thing that you don't tell anyone... that's the one person you can truly confide in. (trust me. my parents sent me to TONS of shrinks... i only ever liked one of them)
and what's this about not studying!... i shouldn't say anything... i failed every test i had when i took pre calculus... only thing that kept me passing was the quizzes. passed the exam though. wo0t! :P

Dav- Just act like nothing different ever happened..if she acts weird, ask her why? The best way to get used to telling people is to tell them. Next time you have a math test....study more! It's just the beginning, honey, you can bring your grade up if you make sure all your other work is top notch. You can do this, just as well as you do with your swimming. I have faith in you... Kathy
