Today, a parent came to me and wanted to talk to me in private because she thinks her child is hurting herself.
Two days ago, this student called me to tell me that she cannot come for lesson because she fell down. I thought it was just a scratch and she was making a big fuss so I told her to clean up and make her way to class because I shifted the class specially for her.
5 mins later, she what's app me a photo of her injury and it was very bad. It didn't even look like an injury that you can

5 mins later, she what's app me a photo of her injury and it was very bad. It didn't even look like an injury that you can
sustain from falling down. It looked more like a cut from a knife because it was too clean.
I told her to quickly wash it, use a cloth/bandage to apply pressure and stop moving around. She told me that she was alone at home and didn't know what to do. I instructed her to inform her parents but she refused. She was not in a good place with her parents these days, you know, teenage years.
I was worried so I sent the photo to her mom and told her to go home immediately to take a look. She did and

they eventually went to KK for stitches.
When she came for class the day after, she was cheerful as usual and was talking a lot in class. I didn't bring the matter up because there were others in the class.
Fast forward to this morning, she was texting me how happy she was because she managed to complete the exam paper within the time limit when usually she couldn't.
Then, came night time when we had the usual lesson. Her mom came in to pay the fees but I could see that she was very worried.

She gestured to me to talk in private at the corridor while her daughter went into the classroom. Once the main door was closed, she immediately asked me if I think there was something wrong with her daughter and if I think she would hurt herself.
I didn't know what to reply. I knew she was feeling very stressed as she's taking O level standard science when she's from NA. She felt like she couldn't catch up with the rest, plus she has a lot of teenage drama happening with her 'squad'.

I did my own research on depression and anxiety when I was suffering from insomnia few months back so I knew a little about how it is not an illness that is easily detectable.
I told the mom not to jump to conclusion just yet and advised her to visit a psychologist with her daughter during the holidays. I also shared with her how one of my jc student fell into depression suddenly and unexpectedly last year and it affected her A levels terribly and how she was in and out of IMH.

Fingers 🤞 I hope she really just fell down and cut herself. It's easier to heal this way.

Yet another night I couldn't sleep. Luckily, I made the most out of my very active brain tonight by drafting out the thank you speech for the wedding. It's only a draft but it is already very long. Guess my guests just have to sit tight and listen because Ray is also very 啰嗦 hahahah 😂 😂 😂
Let me just try to reach this state...

With nz trip coming up in less than 2 weeks I'm really feeling the anxiety and with ray so not supportive like he kept complaining about the AD location not nice blah blah, it's not making things any better.
Other than the occasional insomnia, I've been getting panic attacks. Lucky daisy is somehow always there when I start to feel panicky so I'll just pet her and it made me feel better.
It's like she knows what is happening and simply sit beside me to accompany me.
